Replaced the front struts on this approx 3000 miles (5 years) ago, but didn't replace the strut bearings. Now they need replacing, but i have forgotten the configuration of the strut/spring/bearing/etc (it's been 5 years). After removing the spring/strut assembly, do I need to compress the spring and disassemble the unit to get at the bearing? And, is the bearing an integral part of the mount on this model ('87 GL)?
Thanks . Ken
