ok i've cracked it, yet AGAIN 
After replacing the rear right air strut last month, i had less than 3 weeks of joy until the rear left started leaking.
So i got me a new air strut, decided to change the rear left tonight for ToyotaFest.
NOW... when i tried removing the rear right, the inner crush tube of the lower strut mounting bush was iron-oxided to the little stub mount.... such that i litterally TORE the rest of the strut (inluding outer metal of said lower bush) and ended up attacking the bitch with an angle grinder to get it off.....
.... of course now this one is doing the same.
I dont want to try removing it like the last one in case i fail - cos then i have no air strut, and that is bad.
can anyone suggest an alternative method of removing this crusted up slut??
