DIY: Eibach Install Issue/Question

[Geo13]

To anyone who has lowered their 2010 Mazdaspeed3 on Eibach Pro Kit (or any other manufacturer)....how difficult was it to get the spindle and the strut tower to break free?

I followed some steps that I found in the different forums and proceeded to bang the s*** out of carefully placed 2 x 4's, forgot my wd-40 @ home and nobody at the hobby shop seemed to have any on hand. Anyway spent a good 20 mins. trying to get it to seperate with no luck......any insight?

keep banging wd-40 use 2/4 watch the fender took me good 35 min before it went loose

I know this is late but,

You can put a 2x4 over the LCA and up in the wheel well, and use your OEM scissor jack to push the LCA off of the strut. Just make sure the piece of 2x4 on the top is big enough to where it doesnt destroy the liner. Otherwise it works perfectly. If you need any more help email me at skatetheseas@hotmail.com. It goes straight to my phone. K peace.

Thanks for the response.....

Hey fellas...good looks on the input, better late then never (which is the response I got on every other forum I posted). Anyway took a different approach which worked out fine....

Can't say I love the red lip, but the fender gap looks sweet. Nice job!

looks good, do you still like the springs?
