Faz85 0 Posted April 11, 2007 My top mount is pretty bad, quite a bit of surface rust, but I dont think its a major issue. To remove the spring, your best bet is to take the strut off the car complete, and take it to a local garage who can give it a blast with the impact wrench to get it off. Just remember to clamp the spring first before you take the nut off. Faz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
