5. Loosen the nut on top of the strut underneath the hood.
NOTE: Do not completely remove the nut. Loosen until it can be later removed by hand.
This will make it easiest to remove the strut.
6. Remove the bolts that hold the spindle to the strut.

9. Remove the strut hat. There is a rubber isolator liner originally installed
between the strut hat and the spring. Reuse this liner and install it onto the
bottom side of the new spacer. Reinstall the strut hat on top of the spacer.
11. Repeat steps 1-8 in reverse order to reinstall the strut assembly. It is a good
idea to apply anti-seize compound on the strut shaft threads when
reinstalling the strut shaft nut. (MagnaCharged SS shown with strut spacers
