Hindsight is 20/20 but what if you just decompressed the spring and then sawzalled the strut/spring in half? Could you compress the replacement enough to fit it in and leave the cleavis in place?
@@garagebuildz5216 Right you are! I was listening to what you were saying and not where you were pointing. Yes, the upper ball joint torque spec is 70 pounds/foot... Keep Up The Good Work... Happy Wrenching!

No. Geometry. Too difficult to explain.
The torque specs for the upper control arms was 80 pounds/foot and not 60 mate.... Good luck!
Wrong. It is 70 for the ball joint. I started at 60 and increased it until the cotter pin lined up.
