you shoudl remember what we did? ;)

we used a rope to tie both struts together up into position, then raised the entire assembly up into the car. AFter the struts are in the holes you can release teh rope.

high tech stuff ;)

no thats not the prob they are in too much now i need to pull them apart not in becuase if 1 struts lines up in the holes the other side is way to ina dn want line up i need something to keep pressure on the other one

put a floor jack under it and take the front wheels off. You may need a rolling cart. What is causing the to be to close together is you have weight on the front wheels.

[therock]

damn i cant get my jack under the k member any other options
