On a SL500 1998. Can the front strut mounts be replaced without the use of a specialized coil spring compressor? I know with some cars the mount can be replaced withought disconnectingthe lower part of the strut. BTW, i only have strut spring compressors that fit on the outside. They are the kind auto parts stores rent out.
