Yep.

I would love to drive to Cali and take you up on that. The only problem is the time it takes to get there.

Totally. I have everything but an impact gun...and a vice.

Definitely need to get one of those to hold the shock.

I did my Swifts without a vice. Just laid it on the ground and had at it.

blah, you dont really need a vise, do you?

one tip i usually tell folks is crack loose the front strut top shaft nut while it's still on the car.

and i suppose the other tip is to mark the strut top tower bolt to the car to make the orientation easier when you put the strut back together.

Pics are being taken and I'll post them up soon.

I'm trying to convince myself to continue work today, though (my back is ailing me). Torquing the nut to spec on the top hat is a PITA. I had to lay it on the ground and hold the assembly in place with my foot while I torqued it. I assume a vice would help with that and I might give it a try.

Struggle through it!! Im dying to hear the results. +1 for your troubles.
