I remember checking SEVERAL times under that mount to see if I was missing a bolt... turns out kicking the hell out of something SOMETIMES, is the answer. lol

I just did mine last night.... Hammer worked nicely! 8)

Only problem I had was when one of my spring compressors went bad on the last spring of course....Had to stand on top of the bentch and push down one side of the spring to get the strut bolt back on. :P
