[quote=TomV]Chris,
How did you get the strut off without removing the steering knuckle from the control arm?quote]
Tom, If you don't have a pair of coil spring compressors, then the way you described will work fine, unless you have the same problem I am having with the ball joint. I use the spring compressors to tighten the coil springs, and then remove the bolt that holds the strut to the steering knuckle. With the springs compressed and the bolt removed, you can easily raise the strut assembly by using a jack and a 2x4(for an extension). Place the 2x4 under the part of the strut where the bottom of the spring sits. Pump the jack slowly and the strut will raise right up out of the knuckle
