Hi All,
Just after some advice!! I'm halfway through changing the boot struts in my EF sedan - I've removed the old ones, and fitted the new ones at the point near the back seat, but I seem to be having alot of trouble fitting the other point to the section on the boot arms. Basically from what I can see, you just have to use brute strength to push the strut in a bit, and then get it on to the mounting point. I'm just wondering though, if there is any easier way than this as I tried for 20 minutes and still couldn't do it! Thanks, Justin. |

I was recommended a guy who regasses struts by my mechanic. Haven't gotten round to doing it yet, but my boot struts are cactus, and seriously need regassing. I can give you his number if ya like.

he bought a whole car i beleive? el futura?
struts are easy to put in, just get something to hold the boot upright while changing them, remove the back seat side boulsters for easier access, get a nice little flatty to pull the clips back

There's a couple of people on ebay who sell them for about $20 per pair plus postage (new). I'll try and be more of a man on the weekend and get the buggers in! |
