Misc pics:
Picture #1: Snubber on strut shaft. Place the strut sleeve over it and then through the strut mount
Picture #2: Strut ready to be installed. So shiny! You can also see the center mount point about to be mated to the mating point. This is the pic of the nut/bolt combo I missed
Picture #3: Tools of the trade. You'll need them if you want to make this an easy job. Don't burn any lines now!
Again, it's been written many times in other writeups about the spring coming loose if you let the LCAs down too far: no, not even close. I peered up the spring cups and there's a good 2 coils still in the cups. But again, if you're the paranoid type, buy two lengths of 1/2" pipe with female unions and thread up through the springs. Or use your coil compressor and a big arse chain.
