Strut assembly and ball joints
Hey everyone. I got a 1993 na slicktop a while back and have been improving it ever since. I have two problems for yall to help me with.
PROBLEM ONE
So i bought kyb gr2 struts and tein h tech springs. When i purchased the struts it was in a package that included rubber parts and boots. i got it and nothing is labeled. i dont know what i still need, although i know i need the top mount. I tried compressing the old strut and getting the parts from it but the shaft kept spinning and i dont have an impact. So i am wondering what parts i need to order from zspeed. I took pictures of everything i have.
Springs
Struts
Since these were not labeled idk whats front or whats rear.
Guessing these white things fit in the boots
These are my old struts if anyone can point out what i would need from them. As far as i know i just need the top mount. I could not remove it because the top nut kept spinning the shaft as well. I was told an impact gun would work but i dont have one.
My second issue is the ball joints. I dont know how to remove the rubber cone piece i need for the new ones shown in the picture below. I tried pliers but i dont want to break it. I was thinking maybe if i get the ball joint remover it will pop the cone off as i remove the ball joint?
Any help or advice or diagrams would be much appreciated. I have been searching the internet for a diagram on the kyb strut assembly to see what i was missing but cant find much at all.
