7. Open the hood and unscrew the plastic caps on top of
the strut retainer nuts.
8. Remove the upper strut nuts (item 1 in Image 4) and
strut retainers (item 2 in Image 4) using a 24mm
socket. See IMAGE 4 for reference. NOTE: Do not
remove the nut located under the strut retainer.
9. The strut should easily come out of the strut tower at
this point. If it does not, it may require a rubber mallet
to knock it loose from the tower. Remove the entire
strut/spring assembly as shown in IMAGE 5 on the
following page.
10. The next step is removing the spring from the strut. Using a spring compressor,
compress the spring to relieve tension from the upper mount. See IMAGE 6 on the next
page for reference. With the spring compressed, remove the upper strut nut using a
24mm socket.
11. Remove the individual assembly components and the OE spring as illustrated in IMAGE
6 on the following page. Place the BMR spring onto the strut and then replace each
component in the proper order as shown in IMAGE 6 on the following page. (NOTE: it
does not require a spring compressor to re-install the springs).
12. Index the spring to fit the upper and lower spring seats then tighten the upper strut nut to
52 ft/lbs.
13. Re-install the strut/spring assembly into the strut tower, placing the upper strut retainer
and nut onto the shaft to hold the assembly in place.
