How do you remove front struts?!?
I have undone the three nuts on the top of the suspension tower and removed the 21mm nut from the top of the piston rod. Under that there is a black metal disc (~7cm diameter) and then a weird 'cross' shaped nut thing, which I have no idea how to remove.
I've unbolted the drop link and the bolts through the upright and I can't get any further!!! I'd assumed that the piston rod bolts to the top mount via the 21mm nut and the cross thing and in turn the top-mount bolts the the chasis by the 3 bolts. I just want to remove the whole strut/top-mount assembly! Any ideas? Thanks, Tom |

OK don't know what I was doing wrong but had another go this morning and it came straight out! The club-hammer probably helped though...
