Hello Forum,
I was able to replace the front struts and strut mounts on my 92 Metro. Took about two hours with help of my friend. We were unsuccessful in replaing the rear struts. I discovered that the pinch bolts are rusted badly on both rears. We PB Blasted them and went as far as heat them. Still not movement. :banghead: What would be my next move? All suggestions are wlecomed, please help:shakehead

If it is the nut that is rusted on, get a "nut splitter". I got mine at Sears (at the time it was about $10). Of course, it ruins the nut & you will need a new one, but if you have room to get this tool on, it will definitely get the nut off.
