I’m going to try this this week!!! I’ll comment when done!!!
FYI – In future one small suggestion- use one short wood while compressing to keep strut straight like 90 degree. And other one long wood along floor jack and tie wood at top using rope with strut so when removing strut it doesn’t spring backwards(expand) all of sudden and then floor jack to release the spring pressure.
What brand struts did you use? I’m not happy with either OEM. Nor lucky on aftermarket(TRQ) one. Appreciate your feedback on what did you use. ACURA struts are too soft. Poor quality spring by OEM in my opinion. Or it may be just me.
Thanks for putting my verbal into great video.
Also you could use something to tie around wood at and strut to keep together.
Use folded thick cloth under the wood on knuckle towards brake rotor side to prevent wood sliding to have upward slope. Thanks for making this video.
Haha. I did get lucky, but I did it on both sides, and the other just took a little bit of persuasion. I would do it this way every time vs. trying to smack the knuckle apart.
