Neon strut installation tool video

[cordes]

I made this little video after coming up with a combination of tools to tighten down the nut on the new struts I installed in my first gen Neon. I should add that the struts I took off of the car were the originals. I would have to double check my original cluster, but I believe they had over 1/4 million miles on them. :confused:

Great info and nice trick to getting the strut apart without air tools.

I actually removed the nut by using some vise grips on the shaft and an impact on the nut. It would have been a very long day removing it otherwise. It really wasn't too bad considering it had been on there for 14 years though.
