They're not that bad. Really, the most specialized tools you need are a MacPherson strut spring compressor (rent or buy at about US$30) and a good torque wrench (10-230 ft-lbs).
Other than the difficulty in breaking the bolts loose between the struts and the knuckle, I could have done it by myself (well, if I hadn't split my thumb open that morning). I found the Haynes guide to spring removal and install helpful, as was http://www.turbomr2.com/MR2/HowTo/Suspensi...ringStrut-1.HTM The only difference between that and our cars is the number of rebuildable struts -- they have four, we have two. |
