Re: $1183 for labor!! 200 87

JC Whitney (www.jcwhitney.com) has a screw type tie rod separator for $16.99, item# 81ZX2149N. I just ordered one, it hasn't arrived yet. Wish I had it last time, as I ripped the rubber boots on the tie rod ends using a pickle fork.

For the top strut nut, the Lisle Universal Strut Nut tool set works perfectly. Sears and Pep Boys have this set, less than $50 as I recall. I needed to use my own hex key when installing the new Bilstiens, as an apropriate one was not included in the kit.

For the strut retaining nut inside the spring, I used large-jaw Vise-Grips(tm). Available just about anywhere for $14.
