[s-cars] most frustrating job

[Fred Munro]

I've done this job on a Type 44, Konstantin. It was a bit fiddly, but only
took about 10-15 minutes per side.
Try putting the back on first and working your way around to the front.
If you take it to the dealer, they will likely remove the entire strut and
take it apart to install the dust boot.

I did not do clutch slave yet so this one was most frustrating:  putting top
of
the  front shock rubber boot on mounting ring (with shock and spring
installed).
I after 1 hour exercise I managed to do it on one side but another hour of
trying
on another side left me in deep frustration.  Whole job of replacing shocks
takes
an houre and these 2 suckers....
I am even thinking about braking tabu and bring the car to dealer to put a
boot
on.  I wounder how they will do it.  Maybe removing spring first and
charging me 3
hours labor?
Anyone went through this procedure?  I would appreciate any hint.

Thanks.
Konstantin.
