Front Strut insert replacement

[Ingo Rautenberg]

To do it, you will have to jack the car up sufficiently (and always use
jackstands) so that you can get the Channel locks between the coils.  I
suggest putting the nut back on the top before doing this.  Also, in my
experience, it is a good idea (especially when working with gas-pessurized
strut inserts like Bilsteins) to have the supension raised a bit anyway.
You might be surpised what force theose things have.
