Using spring compressor, compress spring slightly to remove spring tension. Hold strut rod using an Allen wrench and remove nut retaining spring seat and mounting base. Slowly release spring compressor and lift spring off. Disassemble strut assembly, noting relative position of assembled parts. See Fig 1.
