K9crew,
Excellent work! Thats exactly what I did this weekend :D . I found that using a 3/8 socket extension (6 inch) worked even better to put in place of the zip tie to hold the front control arm. Using the socket extension it was easier to remove it and replace it to get the strut assembly in and out- and it was easier to just slide the extension in VS. trying to get the zip tie in. I actually had to remove a few more bolts on the windshield washer reservoir (all of them so I could move it) to be able to get the control arm bolt out- that required removal of the lower shield attached to the front bumber since one of the bolts was on the back side of the reservoir. Not sure if this helps any or not but I wasn't able to get that bolt out without being able to move the reservoir out of the way. I definately appreciated the pics- they did help me and I'm sure it will help other tackling this job as well!
