super strut removal
ok ive unbolted them from the rods joints etc but the bastards are stucksoild on the lower ball join on one side ant then on the rods on both sides,
one came out ith a few love taps with the hammer on the rod while pulling up @ same time but the rest wont budge and theres nothing 2 get leverage on.
any ideas appreciated... also damn the pan of a super is BLOODY HEAVY!

if your trying to remove the hub and strut form the lower control arm, make sure you have removed the bolt that tensions the hub assemebly on the ball
joint as it loacks the ball joint in... also go and get a ball joint remover for the steering ball joints.
