Great video! Can you tell me where you got the strut spreader? Also, is there anything else you needed to replace apart from the strut mount and the strut itself? Thanks!
The spreader was from Amazon. I used a fully assembled strut assembly with spring and mount. If you're doing the strut and mount, you're better off doing the same.
That would probably help. But before you do that, push the knuckle and control arm down, straighten out the knuckle, then let it rise straight over the shock. Also, a little grease or even penetrating oil on the bottom of the shock helps it slide it a bit easier.

Good job.
Good on ya. That tool is boss.
My knuckle is hanging too far out and wont align with my shock do you know what the problem could be
The CV shaft might be restricting movement. Have you removed the axle nut and pushed the shaft in?
@@416diy thanks for the quick reply! No would I need to remove the nut and push the shaft in more? First time doing this a bit confused
