Guide: Front suspension/spring/coilover change
#71
I managed to get the strut out without removing the BJ. I went and bought a BJ fork and bashed it with a BFOH for ages and ages and it didn't budge.

So, I jacked the hub up until the spring was quite compressed then put spring compressors on. This mean that when the hub went backt down the bottom of the strut was just about high enough to get out.

Driveshaft wept a bit of gearbox oil before I quickly jacked the hub back up (let it drop too much). Leaking appears to have stopped. Do I need to do anything other than not let it drop again or does it need relocating or something?

Thanks for the help.
