Front strut removal
Are any special tools required when removing front struts?
To remove the top mount is it just a case of holding the strut with a hex key and removing the nut?

Hi no special tools needed mate, fairly easy job realy.
Yeah thats all ya do with the top mount, Hardest part i found was getting the track control arm back in position.
The anti roll bar is strong as hell on 4x4 cossys anyway, i use a ratchet strap from truck to pull it back into position.
Sure there will be other veiws on this. good luck.

if you are just removing the shocker then there is no need to touch the ball joints, just undo the 19mm clamp bolt, use a wedge to spread the hub carrier a little then a big pry bar to pull it down. don't undo the top mount until you have done this though.
if you are removing the hub carrier as well I find it easier to do the above first then lift the hub off the ball joint, then u won't need a ratchet strap
