LoyaleSmith Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 How in the bloody hell do I uncover the rear strut towers in my 90 wagon? am trying to remove struts and put on coil sleeves. where the codswalloping codswallop is the magic button that uncovers the tops?

Gloyale Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 There isn't one. First it's already a coilover shock.....not a strut. the top mount bolts into the inside top of the wheelwell. Not from inside. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l75eya Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 +1. Raise up the rear end, take the wheel off. Two bolts at the top of the strut, one pinch at the bottom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikelp Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 I just got done doing mine tonight. The biggest problem is the coil compessor with the little springs for the rear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ibreakstuff Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Hehe, it happens.For those rear top hat bolts, I use a foot long (or longer) 1/2" socket extension and a breaker bar. It really helps getting at them without denting the fender or bleeding knuckles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
