Yup - if the strut cartridge has much pressure left in it - then there is no advantage to compressing the coil inside the wheel well.

I have had one or two cartridges that were flat - no pressure at all, and compressing the coil first did give a bit of extra room.

Either way - and yes it is easier to work the coil compressor outside of the wheel well.
