Think outside, no box required.
Auto correct..
You don't want one of those anywhere near a landy!

Only weight really is the strut. Had top bolt back in. Whole thing will pivot back and forth on that bolt. It’s just won’t move, heat, pen the lot. Been smacking the a large hammer. Can only assume it must be bent or seized solid it will not turn.

Rusted in most likely.

That’s just the thread on the nut side. Bolt on other side not moved a mm and won’t turn. There is no thread other side but it’s slightly wider . Never known out like it. Access poor other side due to brake hoses etc.

I have a 600 mm breaker bar for such jobs, if it’s anything like the Inner rear track control arm bolt I had to cut the bolt off either side . It had become one with the inside of the arm. messrs oxy and acetylene as above

It’s had the bar. It’s quite awkward to get at the bottom bolt with the caliper in the way. That was off in Feb so at least i know that shifted easily in comparison. struts been on since 08 so I guess it could be rusted as one.
why is it always the passenger side front that goes. Had same on my last one.

It’s the side that drives through all the puddles at the edge of the road
