    Looking at replacing rear struts. Noticed my studs in trunk are long so I need to use deep wells.
    Put the deep well on and not enough clearance. I do not have impact set. So what is best way ?
    Wrench ? pass thru ratchet ?

    Hmm I never thought about the speakers. But that's too much work to do. With taking the seat out and upper deck.

    Sounds like the plan, hope I can get them tight enough. Never did them before.
