Hey guys... I haven't been on here inawhile... I sold my SHO, i really hate myself.... but anyway. I sold it to a really good friend of mine and were doing the suspension on it in the next few weeks (new struts). I've been trying to find a good installation thread on the forum but i can't seem to find one. Maybe i'm looking in the wrong spots i dunno. Was wondering if anyone new of a good detailed thread on this topic? I've done struts before but every car is diffrent in it's own ****** way... I'm not looking forward to the pinch bolts :thumb:, i just don't want to be breaking anything...
thanks guys !

The pinch bolts aren't that hard if you know the trick.

Back it out one half turn and then tighen it back up. Repeat until it moves freely. Now back it out an extra half turn and work it back and forth again until it moves freely again...repeat until it's out.

A good dose of MAPP gas will make your job quite a bit easier.
