Thanks for the reply Ryan.

Alrighty. I know about compressing the coil. My local auto parts has a hefty spring compressor.

I understand about those three strut assem. tower mounting bolts.

Now the 15/16 offset wrench your talking about is for the 24mm strut top bolt?

The problem I was thinking I was gonna have to deal with is finding a socket to fit into the offset wrench's recess, If the offset wrench is shallow enough the 10mm wrench I have will work. But I'm just being safe in wanting to find out what the socket adapter that holds the top of the strut. But I guess I'll have to rent the tool before I tear that whole thing apart to see how it'll go....

I have a harbor freight four blocks away. I'll have to stop by tomorrow.

I was thinking pipe wrenches were fit to get those gland nuts off,
but I've read a few people on here whimpering about scraping their struts.

Thanks for making sure I don't knock out my teeth with flying coils, Ryan. :-)
