Unable to reach the bolts to remove front passenger side strut, is there a trick? Was able to complete driver side without a problem?

Hello,

You might need a short wrench or socket to remove the top of the strut mount. Here are the instructions to replace the struts using a strut compression tool if you are not getting the complete units. Check out the diagrams (Below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.
