does any one no a trick to getting out the strut cartridges on a -4 suspension? i undid the single nut on top and dropped it down, but i cant get the collar thing to unthread out of the strut housing. i have sprayed it down with penetrating oil many times and my father and I can't get it to budge. Thanks.

A large pipe wrench, a large pair of Channel Locks, or a chisel and a BFH. All work well. The Cap'n

An air chisel! Way to go. I didn't mention one because most folks can't try this at home. If you have the nut for a spanner wrench, you just use the notches to apply the air chisel. If you have the hex nut, you might want to use the pipe wrench, although a judiciously placed air chisel will work fine, assuming you place it carefully and use a delicate touch. Air chisel? Delicate? What is he, nuts? Go for it! The Cap'n

This is what the view from the top looks like. the two circles are thru holes. the two rectangles represent notches that are part of a circular cap piece that threads into the top of the strut cartridge its self. are thes stock?
