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.
