Hi all,

As the title suggests, Im having difficulties getting a set of front bora 4mo struts to fully fit into the bottom wheel bearing mount. I get the strut about half way down and then it gets stuck. My coils slide in nice but stock struts are not wanting to get in.

Anyone have any tips, tricks or tools to help seat the strut fully in the bottom mount/wheel hub?



I've tried heavily greasing up the surfaces, mounting the strut to the car and then pushing the bearing assembly up into the strut using a jack (so tight it started lifting the car), usual array of hammering, using a prybar to try and expand the opening on the hub, and even some quick grips to try and pull the strut into the mount. I have removed the strut from the springs and top mount as well.

Running out of ideas. I really hope I don't have to go through the hell of trying to remove the hub.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!
