Re: Struts - HELP!!

>STRUT WILL NOT SLIDE OUT!
probably rusted in place.
pour or spray plenty of penetrant in there to help break it loose.
then pull the piston up all the way.
put a 15mm craftsman box end wrench over the threads on the piston and screw
the piston nut onto the threads to hold it.
find a BIG HAMMAH.
smack the underside of the 15mm CBEW with the BH until the strut insert
pops out.
if you bend the CBEW in the process, go back to sears and get a free
replacement.
