Hey guys, just wondering if anyone has any tips or methods they use when replacing the front suspension. I've just replaced the inserts with KYB's and chucked some lowered king springs in, but i'm having trouble getting the strut back in. The main problem i'm having is that i can't compress the new suspension enough to actually get it up onto the steering mounts (or whatever ya wanna call em.)

Friends call me Ashgan or Ash... But you can call me failchanic. If there's a routine maintenance job that exists on a starion, then chances are i've failed at it.
First attempt fails include:
-Changing indicator light
-Changing spark plugs
-Changing belts
-Changing airfilter
-Changing oil
-Removing rear strut

I used a scissor jack wedged between the lower suspension arm and the crossmember and started winding it out.
