Well as you an others have pointed out ( and I discovered for myself this m=
orning ) The strut has to be removed to change the bearings ( and making an=
 alignment pratically manditory )  It will not drop far enough so that I ca=
n compress the spring while leaving the strut attached at the control arm. =
 So I will have to do the bearings another time.  There just isn't enough t=
ime to do this, go to work tomorrow and get married on the weekend !!  I di=
d rotate the front tires though, that should help a little 'till I get back=
 from the honeymoon ..

  Hee, hee.  My 5000 does it.  I sort of cheated.  ;-)
  All the earlier ones only use one nut and you do need a spring compressor
on them.  The suspension doesn't travel far enough to do it without.  ;(
