Never use a impact gun to start the nuts moving.it will shread them.use a socket like shown in the video.about the best how to fix video to get this job done.very well explained and thanks for sharing
My partners spring snapped in a similar fashion, but at the bottom, hence why I am here, haha. Fantastic vid mate, easy to follow, precise explanations and dos/don'ts in there too. Great work, thanks for this 💯🙂
no criticism but while it's in place I would loosen . the top bolt couple of threads so you haven't got to force that bolt while under while springs are compressed
Simple, easy, just what i needed. Goddamn wiper assembly on my grandfather's fiesta caused massive corrosion in the strut mount, possibly the strut itself, but I'll replace both and not take the chance. Should have a grommet in the top from factory
Good stuff! I’ve got the “joy” of doing exactly this at the weekend! Only thing I would advise, “always” replace them in pairs. I’ll be doing both front springs. Hopefully, won’t need too mounts, but we shall see!!!
No mate, he’s not removed the driveshaft nut from the hub and there’s not enough movement from the lower arm to remove the driveshaft from gearbox side 👍🏼

Great video and easy to follow. Got the front springs to replace at the weekend. Did the rears last week and then the weather turned.
Done mine, car just passed MOT, grate video mate
Great video, really helped, only suggestion is put complete tool list at the start

Nice one Geezer!
Great video! Saw some dire ones before this, thanks!!
Thank You for your video well explained 👍
hi was there a washer under the centre nut
Very good video mate
Fab explanation. Thank you.🔆🕯️
Great video, just wondering if there’s any chance of the drive shaft popping out once the knuckles free of the strut if so any preventives? Thanks

ganz schön versifft und verrostet das Schätzchen - aber saubere Arbeit 👍 welche Stoßdämpfer kannst Du empfehlen? Sachs? Bilstein? Kayaba?
Kayaba
if they are like the sealey ones. they will be fine
Very good
Nice, except the price. £47!? I've just bought a pair from a local supplier for £48. £37.99 on ebay!
