quite simple really.

IF you have a vice in the garage, Line up the strut AND the bushing together between the
jaws and carefully start cranking the vice jaws closed ALWAYS watching the bushing and strut
alignment.

It takes me about 5 min. max to install the bushing in the strut, nose piece and nose piece into the strut.

wow!

i didnt think it would take that much force.
No vice here so i will have to think of another way.

Thanks

yepper, that much force.

If you have a harbor freight store in town there, (where ever you are located), go down there and pick up a cheap vice. I think I paid about 10-12 bucks for mine about 5 yrs. ago.
