The front struts are a bit more involved than the rears and theres one tool in particular you should buy that will make the job easier (strut spreader tool)
- spring compressors
- i would recommend replacing the strut tops and bearings while you are there
- strut spreader tool to release the strut from the spindle
- open socket to loosen/tighten the top strut nut
- some WD40 to help loosen the strut
- some triple square socket bits (M10 or M12...i cant remember which size)
Ive just sold my VW so im selling all the special tools i acquired along the way, so if you are interested see below.
