Hi all,
I finally managed to free the ball joint from hell, and I was finally able to get my strut out. After getting the strut out, I was able to pound out the roll pin that is supposed to hold the shock insert in. This is a Bilstein strut, so it isn't supposed to have a big nut on the top. So, I figured that the shock would just slide out, but it ain't moving! What the hell!?! So, am I missing something? Who's done this before, and can give me some direction. Damn 30 year old siezed up parts! I can supply pics, if it would help. |

spray some bp blaster down the strut tube. try taping on the rod or the insert body to vibrate the penetrating fluid all around . don't the bils have some sort of retaining cap? show a picture of the top as it now.

I'll grab a few pictures after work. I'd heard that there wasn't a gland nut or retaining nut on the top of the Bilstein struts. There is some sort of a cap on the top, but it doesn't look like its threaded, and it doesn't seem to want to move. Hopefully a few pics will help.
