So I have done spring installs in the past. I got Swift for my x sedan and I go to do the front first since they will be the hardest to do. I have air tools, spring compressor ect...

I removed the 1 bolt in the bottom of the strut assembly, the 3 up top and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to remove the damn assembly. Its like as if the lower control arm does not go low enough to get the needed space to pull the assembly out. Am I missing something?

 

Did you ever figure it out?

 

if you are having this issue make sure both sides of the car is raised. Take off the stabilizer links, and you will see a spot where you can place a long pry bar on top of the lower control arm and a portion of the frame. Just pry it down and you have plenty of space to remove the whole assembly. Make sure to have someone to help pry or to remove the assembly, it will make it a lot easier.
