my question is
for the front struts. what did you use to cut the cap on the housing to remove the cartridge and did you weld the cap back on or what? thanks |

Mine actually twisted off once we used enough pressure, and then twisted back on without problems from what I remember.

Check this link out, they show how they cut the housing apart.
Don't know what the exact name of the tool they used, but someone told me that it's similar to what plumbers cut piping with. Hope that helps. ![]() http://www.y8s.com/celica/suspension.html |

yup, mine were on REALLY tight. I had torch the cap before it came off. good thing the koni's came with replacement caps. |

just put you sturts on a table clamp and use a monkey wrench to twist the tops off
