Just unbolt the steering arm, links and swaybars and the strut will fall outside of the guard and the spring can be removed easily. beware that you have jack under the control arm so it does not spring out and the jack can lower it slowly. That sounds rather dangerious. Everyhthign I've ever read/been toldabout removing springs from macpherson struts says that they should be removed with proper spring compressors. Preloaded springs of a rate to hold up 1/4 of a car can soa LOT of damage. yeh i know that that is why you put the jack under. or you can just disconnect this stuff while the car is on the ground then slowly jack it up and your spring will come out. however when it comes time to put the spring back in you will need spring compressors or a rattle gun. dunno you might have be really fast with a ratchet [Report message to a moderator]
