gillyman Posted March 24, 2006 Report Posted March 24, 2006 Will be replacing the 2 front strut mounts very soon in a 95 cutlass supreme is there any special tools required for this job any pointers or pictures would be great. Quote
mihela816 Posted March 25, 2006 Report Posted March 25, 2006 You need a spring compressor, and an impact with a 23mm socket. compress the spring until the bottom part is loose. Then blast the nut off of the strut shaft with the impact. Quote
Brian P Posted March 25, 2006 Report Posted March 25, 2006 the upper strut mount? You can replace those with the struts on the car, and the car on the ground. Just remove the plates, pry the strut shaft/mount up, grab the shaft with vise grips, and zip off the 24mm upper nut with an impact gun. Mount will come right out. Quote
mihela816 Posted March 25, 2006 Report Posted March 25, 2006 Never mind. I'm thinking of the spring mount. He's right, that part is very easy to replace. Quote
gillyman Posted April 5, 2006 Author Report Posted April 5, 2006 Hey That was my mistake I was referring to replacing the spring mount Quote
