From “Strut replacement for Novices”
http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/index.htm?id=769381
(See above post for illustration)

6) heavy gauge wire/rod to hang strut outside wheel well
6a) 18” long piece of 3/16” threaded rod, described in 700-900 FAQ. I left the described 1” tail (that gets fed through the eyelet in the swaybar) longer than that, in case I wanted to lengthen it a bit..."
------------------------------------------------
I needed TWO of the above rods to prevent the strut tower from stressing the brake lines. Loosening the brake line bracket precluded pulling the caliper. I also used a rope from the lower fender bracket in front of the wheel well to prevent the tower tipping rearward.
