[QUOTE="Electrokid, post: 16225179, member: 131295"] Hoping someone can provide a link to some instructions or provide some tips on how to remove the strut top from the OEM spring/strut on a 2012 GT. I've watched a bunch of videos, and everyone makes it look so easy by just putting the impact gun on there and loosening it. When I tried that, it didn't work. I have the spring compressors on there, and the strut top spins freely, but when I try to loosen the nut with a 21mm socket, it just spins the entire centre of the the strut, and it doesn't actually back the nut off. It honestly seems like the strut top is moving with the spring. Like the foam part has adhered to the spring and won't separate as shown in the picture below. When compressing the spring, the bearings all came out of the strut top too... If anyone can provide insight into what I did wrong to cause that, it would be greatly appreciated.
