I was a web admin of my very own geocities page in 1996, it’s a cakewalk.

I have a domain/website (though I don't self host) and nearly missed out on an awesome job opportunity because the domain expired even though it was supposed to be on auto-renewal.

I still disagree here with an impact, if you tighten everything with the spring compressed it's easy to get it to not make noises. Metalnerd makes a pass-through socket thing that will work well for units requiring the allen key to hold it in place, and by fully tightening the top hat without load on it (from the spring), you can fully tighten them and then install the assembly.

It's like 25 bucks (the ecs one)... No thanks... I did it with impact.

So does every professional automotive shop in the country, haha. Those allen holding fixtures are garbage if there's even a little rust.

Ok so i gotta zip it off with an impact... hoping it works and doesn't just spin, i have a weak impact is the problem

If it spins trying to take it off hold the piston with a channel lock. Doesn't matter since you're throwing the old strut away.

Why can’t @jay745 just make us a new forum with all the data? Why he so lazy

Not lazy, just broke from $100k GTI and buying Cheech and Chong sized joints

+ the $500 meats

120% agree, all my homies hate allen keys.

I definitely had much greater success unloading the spring, installing the top hat, and then adding tension to the spring, either by adusting the collars or via spring compressor. Installing with an impact is a no-go for me.

pray for me bois, CEL on the daily has been off for a record number of hours and I'm hoping I can keep it off long enough for inspection today. I really don't want to have to buy a new cat this year

tf you mean zip it OFF?

You shouldn't be taking anything apart while it's still under pressure from the spring.

I'll post this for @jay745 since he's busy fixing the site

I b4 the video of parts shooting off the car at 4,687 mph

I have such a bad cold and am so congested I almost passed out using mouthwash.

Also, what's up with Jay not just migrating this site and every iota of information to a similar site already chosen, paid for, and set up in advance? Is he stupid?

 

[DangerDane2008]

PSA - don’t buy
