I'm doing it right now, so far so good. But yes it takes awhile for the 6 ounces!!
Thanks for posting this.
On the rear right now, over to the rear left next.
Man my setup is squeaking like crazy since the beginning of this week. Sounds like its from the rear. Forcing the rear up and down makes the noise. I used plastic loom too and the top nuts are tight. Wtf
Here.
Measure from cap referring to measurements in Koni instructions. Make a mark. Measure your mark and verify.
Drill a hole in bottom of strut to drain fluid.
Cut your mark.
Drill the bottom hole using a 9/16" drill bit. (14.2mm)
Slide the Koni in until it won't go further.
Thread the Allen bolt into the bottom following the instructions for proper order of the washers.
As you torque it down the koni will get pulled into the strut housing and the bumps will slide into the housing, gripping the sides to hold it in place.
Torque it down.
Slide the white plastic washer down and slide the rubber boot over the shaft end of the Koni.
Slide bump stop on and put the dust boot over.
Assemble strut with spring.
This is the easiest part of the install. I'd be worried on how you're going to get the springs assembled if this is tasking.
Also make sure you cut it with the thin blade and perfectly flat. Take a flat piece of wood to verify that you've cut straight.
Why an angle grinder? Wrong tool. Go to Home Depot. Spend $20 on a brass craft 2-1/2" or whatever size pipe cutter. Spend $5 on a caliper to measure. Measure down, screw the pipe cutter down. Spin it around until it cuts through.
