[DML] Re: Door Strut Removal Method

["Dave Swingle" <swingle@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

This method has a high likelihood of breaking something else too - the 
lower strut mount is into the fiberglass. If they are really this tight 
solve the problem by getting the pressure off the strut (see prior 
discussion about lifting up on the door) and getting some penetrating 
oil into the ball joint.

The new struts I've bought in the past are greased as-supplied.
