i bought the rear gr-2 struts and am looking for the front. i was wondering how difficult it was to interchange the stock strut with the kyb gr-2 cartridge. or, where could i find some koni front struts. thanks

Basically to ellaborate on what the others said...
1. take out the old strut and the spring (under compression) 2. place strut in a vice clamp and secure (to get the nut off) EDIT 2: Also...tilt the top of the strut up a little, otherwise it might get messy ... a 30/45 degree angle is fine 3. use an adjustable wrench and break the nut lose 4. let the yucky stuff spill out somewhere 5. install your new strut, and use the new nut that came with it 6. go drink something |
