That looked like hard work! Looks easier to pop the lower balljoint and remove the hub assembly with the old strut attached.

Really nice video as I'm about to do this on my 2007 S80. From experience with my S40 if you keep the expander tool (chisel, bolt flattened on two sides, expander bit, etc.) in the gap to spread the mount the removal and installation of the strut into the knuckle goes much faster.

Thanks man! I gotta do this on my little Bro's car this week, but his strut is snapped... so I'm gonna use an air hammer on it hopefully that will make the removal easier. Also gonna respray it after breaking it free with the chisel. Sounds bad huh? Well even worse my only helper IS my little Bro!!! So maybe google Air-hammer murder next week

Also about to try this later today, is there any reason you didn't go up from under the knuckle to bash the strut out? At 5:35 it looks like you could have just used a wide punch or an air hammer from the bottom. Was the boot in the way?

This was the easiest way that we found to get it out.

It’s pain in the neck to put it in. But it’s doable. I might need to replace one for my S80 soon

Remove the abs wire at the beginning. Once the strut is in the knuckle. All three bolts loosely on. Line up at bottom. Use a bottle Jack to push in all the way. I spent quite some time on taking off and putting back on tie rod bolt

Remove the ABS cable from the knuckle and also loosen the axle bolt. Slide the axle back slightly. I use an air hammer and a pry bar to hammer the knuckle off the strut. Air hammer also helps for the reinstall

@@andrewreed6155 About to try that. Where did you position the air hammer? I was wondering if I could go up from under the knuckle in the center of the strut. Or is there a bottom cover?

Is it normal for the front end to sit higher than the back after changing the struts

If the rear struts are old then the front might sit a little higher because they are new. The front struts should also settle a little bit after a couple of weeks. Hope this helps you out.
