Problems removing rear struts
Is it necessary to remove the brake calipers when lowering the lower control arm to make room for removing the strut?
Also, how do you get the lower control arm cover off to access the lower strut bolt?
It seems to have tabs or something on it that I can't figure out how to get them off.
If there is an easier way to remove and replace these struts, that would be great to know.
Thanks!
