Hello all. Well, after replacing basically my whole front end I noticed that the lower strut bracket pushing was worn on both sides. The one that presses into the lower control arm. How difficult are these to replace? Have not seen videos for them anywhere. Do I need any special tools?

I recently replaced mine and did a "How to" on them. I believe there is an alternative method to using a C-clamp for pushing them out that may work, and that would be when the strut assembly is removed from the bushing, is to take both of the 24MM retaining nuts and place them together in a locking fashion on the bushing. Then using a breaker bar, rotate the inner portion which will break it free from the rubber.

At that point, you can follow the "How to" guide using the larger ball joint tool.

Here's the article:
