yes you have to remove it. Dont worry, the spring will not come apart if you remove.

Xhale707,

Do you have aftermarket Amp/Sub installed ?

The center should be a 7mm allen key/hex. Hold that steady and use a 22mm (or 24mm?) socket on the nut.
Once the nut is off the strut assembly should drop out and you can remove the black plate.
Make note of how the 'hat' at the top (strut bearing) is oriented so it sits right on reassembly.

yeah i do i have a 1200 watt rms 12 inch sub woofer installed on my bose system. I dont have the subwoofer in my trunk right now because the box weights like almost 100 pounds.

Do you remember the allan bolt and nut wrench sizes you used for upper wheel hub assembly?
