- Replacing rear struts with KYB on 2000-2005 Toyota Celica is straight forward and easy with the homemade springs/strut compression tool. You don't need to worry about springs flying off the strut causing injuries or death. There are couple links below. KYB struts will give you about the same comfort and ride like the Toyota oem struts. DONT buy the complete assembled struts available online, most of them won't feel the same as OEM. Mainly the springs either too soft or too stiff. Always use the OEM springs.

I'm about to replace my clutch, rotors, struts calipers etc on my 2003 Celica GTS. I appreciate you showing the process for the struts.
This is Ripper from Tiger King 2 FYI. 😁
I'd like to see this one too... Rather than fix all the leaks and rebuild the trans I found a wrecked 01 a few blocks away and got the whole car for 600... Got so many spare parts off it I'm still ahead!
@@breckfreeride That's an awesome deal. You going to part it out?
Thanks for the video 😊
That spring compressor is genius
I am not taking credit for that. I saw what others did and merely copied their ideas. That's properly invented in some third world's countries where they couldn't buy the stuff to fix their cars. I do like thinking outside the box. Lol
@@tonedubb4325 I do too... But I also like my teeth. Spring compressors in general give me the heebie jeebies! Saving a buck is nice but sometimes the complete part assembly is worth it. Lower a arms with bushings and ball were definitely worth the 3 bucks extra assembled!
The great thing about this is that the compression is very little. You're only pressing slightly to loosen the bolt. As soon as you remove your weight, the spring will move up a little. Don't worry about getting ejected like a fighter pilot. Spring clamps it a lot, which makes it dangerous. My advice is not to put your face so close the spring and sweet talk it to come off. I'm not responsible for losing teeth. So a suggestion, you can talk dirty to your springs. Well, sometimes you do need to if they are stubborn. 😆
@@tonedubb4325 epic... The front lower a arms were the real bastard... That rear bolt was rusted in so bad took 2 hours of cussing to get one out!
If the bolt is and the shaft is spinning, use a pair of visegrip to lock it in part while turning the nut. I'm assuming you've already got it loose. Since you're probably replacing the struts.
So if the 2000 Celica GT has over 386,000 miles would one still use the existing springs or go with new ones? Yes folks it has 386,000+ miles, is on its second engine and already have a JDM long block in my garage on a pallet 👍🏻.
@robertgill448 i would stick with the original springs. Aftermarket ones will have a different stiffness compared to the factory ones.
What is the name of the KYB replacement strut exactly? Great vid

Check the comment's section. The parts are listed there.
Cheers mate, trying to find a set in Australia!
Oh. I'm not sure. I got them from ebay. There must be an online store selling them there.
So how many pounds do you torque everything back?
I don't even know. You know, when you tighten something like wheel lugs or other nuts and bolts, you can feel it, and you know that good. Only things even properly torque are bolts on the engine block. That's important.
All the torque requirements on every part of your car are listed somewhere online.
