Sorry for the delay. I can try again to change them out. I ran into difficulty with the bolts. They are rusted tightly but I have upgraded my impact wrench since then. May be a couple weeks. Will that be okay?

YMMV but I've had better luck with a 1:1 ratio of ATF and Acetone and time in a spray bottle over PB.  I've had the best luck with a MAPP gas torch to heat the bolt if it still won't go.   

Within a couple weeks would be great!

Hey Marc you can have a set of struts off of one of the parts cars if you want to come pull them. You need to come pick up the rest of your parts anyway...  ;D

NoobKevin,

Any updates on the struts?  got them off yet.. need a hand with them?  I just got my weld on koni strut insert adapters and gland nut from a shop in Australia so I'm ready to see if I can convert our stock struts to a double adjustable set of yellow koni's.

Paul, just PM'd you...

PM did not come in. That's odd. I have been a road warrior for work and have not tried the new impact wrench. I will see what can be done this week. I probably should not have said anything until I had them off. I am sorry.

Don't let life get in the way this Saturday.  Both of you come to the meeting.  Then we and you know what everyone looks like.

I was not able to remove the old struts. My daily driver is broken down with likely a warped head so I am unwilling to do anything to the Fiero for now. I am sincerely sorry I said anything as I feel I have led you on. I can loan you a new one if that helps. They are strapped to keep the piston from fully extending.
