Trunk Strut Installation
I bought some good trunk struts from Mike and tried to install them on my '92 SVX this morning.
Let me explain. I took off the old right trunk strut with no problems. I installed the bottom of the new right strut on the trunk fender lip with no problems. I figured that I could use my weight to compress the new strut. I could compress it ok but could not hold it long enough to line up the bolts with the holes on the trunk lid. I spent an hour trying to keep the strut compressed & line up the bolts to no avail. I needed 2 more hands. I'm thinking that it's a 2 man job. One to compress the strut. The other to line up & tighten the bolts. Is there some secret to this, so that it's a one man job?
