4K Strut Insert Replacement Help

[Roland Broberg <broberg@execpc.com>]

Purchased front strut inserts for my son's 4K FWD assuming the job to be
like the 5K but no, much bigger job.  Anyone want to talk about it?
I've got the Bentley.
Questions:
-did you need the wheel puller to get the half shaft out of the hub?
-were you able to compress spring without spring compressor?
-how long for the job?  (you not me)
-how many knuckles did it take?
TIA!
Roland
