Yeah, that's the trick. Getting it back in. And what a B*&^#H that was. I made my own special tool. A couple U bolts. Compressed the spring with a spring compressor rented from the local parts store. Hooked up the U bolts to keep the tension. Dropped the spring in place. Hooked up the strut. Let the U bolts off. Is what I finally came up with.
