I want to replace the struts with Hilos. How do I remove the cone from the strut. I have tried and tried and the only option I can see now is to use the grinder to cut the strut away from the cone.

Any idea or suggestions would be great

Not sure myself but you might get a better response if you post this under Mini chat or Mini mods. This area is for pics. :roll:

I used a chisel and BFH on one.. but i couldn't get the other apart, some of them are stuck together REAL GOOD.

I replaced my cones with new ones when i did my hi-lo's...
