I have done the struts on 1980 Rabbit and 1982 Rabbit.  Made my own spring =
compressor out of  half inch readyrod and splicing nuts. Worked like a char=
m=2E  (a bit slow)    Hydraulic cylinder was amazingly cheap.Pivot bearings=
 were reused. Is it worth it ??? yes if you look at future replacements. Th=
e first one is the hardest.      Taking one apart without compressing sprin=
g  ?  no problem. Pry end of spring over edge of steel plate and unscrew -p=
iece of cake.       Hagar.
