Strut Replacement

My car isn't readily available. With the wheels locked to one side, is there enough room to get a impact gun on the two lower bolt heads?

Re: Strut Replacement

yes, but I'm not entirely sure if they came with the nut on the inside or not from the factory. If the nut is on the inside you'll have to tear the rotor off to get the bolt out of the strut.

Re: Strut Replacement

Thanks. The nut is on the rotor side, so apparently I'll be able to gun them.
