If the coilover is too long, and it doesnt fit, you may have to approach it in a different direction.

Since the coilover did not fit the normal way, we hung the coilover from the strut tower. Basically putting the top hat bolts through and threading the nut a bit on there afterwards.

While the strut is hanging down, we pushed down on the hub to slither the strut into the control arm. (Same method as removal)
