Question on Front Shock and Spring Replacement

[vlindell]

Just finished installing new struts on my 2009 base Mini. I took "Lazylogan's" advice and just had to remove the three instead of five connections described and everything went fine. It really helps to have a electric impact wrench. It came in real handy to remove the pinch bolt, the top nut off the assembly and I even used it on the spring compressor. Thanks so much Pelican for the great tech articles and pictures.
