hi all, trying to install bilstien heave duty struts, they seem to tight to go in the tube, they go in about 60 percent of the way and thats all. removed ball joint nuts partially, then sprayed inside strut tower with brake cleaner. called bilstien tech he said try to sand paint off strut, did not help much. tried a little grease no go. pulled other side and sanded strut went in about 80 percent of the way. got stuck and had to push out from bottom with rubber side of hammer. (all i need now is another hurricane) :+{ any suggestions will be appreciated or i will be using boge.
