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... |
