Hi--putting new Boge strut inserts in the front. The old ones didn't have any oil in the strut housing--should I put ATF in before I sink the new inserts in?
Also, I tried to extend the insert and put back up through the bushing and I can't seem to get it up there (the thing wants to contract)! Have tried a floor-jack, etc. I have the thought to get a long metric bolt that looks like it would screw into the top of the strut (the center is threaded) to help pull it through. Has anyone else had this problem? Oh, I guess I should mention that I didn't remove the strut housing to do all of this... |

Do you have holes in the bottom of your strut housings ??? If so , any fluid you put in will leak out eventually . I had two sets of 73 original sturts ( housings ) and both sets had holes drilled through from the ball joint stud to the inside of the strut housing . Shine a flashlight down in there to determine if so , might save you some trouble.
