does any one have a diagram that shows how to changes struts.

 

3 nuts on top 2 bolts at the bottom
strut spring compressor tool
Put it back the way it came apart, the springs seat into little spots of the bases.
Mark it before taking it off

 

theres a diy on http://www.cb7tuner.com


its pretty easy.. i've lowered about 10 cars already..

 

not to be condescending, but if you can't figure it out, i wouldn't recommend doing it.

it's pretty simple, just pull the 3 bolts at the top (NOT THE ONE IN THE MIDDLE YET), the 2 on the bottom, where it connects to the knuckle, pull the brake line off, and pull the strut out. then you need to compress the coil spring, and take off the center nut on top.

best way to take that nut off is with an impact if you're not reusing the strut. if you are re-using the strut, then you need to either get the special tool, or find a combination of a box end wrench, and allen key to do it. if you spin the shaft inside the strut, you will rip the seals. alot of people will tell you to use an impact on and off, but i don't recommend it.
reverse that order to put everything back together.

and yes i'm sure there's a DIY with pictures on CB7Tuner.

I think the mods do. lol

 

i cross link when ever i need to help someone find the answer. all forums i have been on cross link as well. as far as your struts, are you replacing with stock or aftermarket with lowering springs. there's a difference. the springs will need to be compressed properly depending on the situation. improperly compressing them can result in great harm to yourself.
