I have a 1995 protege, and like to replace both rear struts, do I need a spring compressor and modified tools for this job? My est. from the dealer or indendant serice shops on replacing them are about $300-$430, what do you think is it easy to do it myself?
Thanks.

yeah your gonna need spring compressors to do it, i tried once with out it, and almost got killed from the spring, lol, uhhhhh basic hand tools, with maybe a breaker bar here and there will be fine, unless you have some nice air tools, which are what i recomend, its not too too hard to do, just time consuming.

Hey thanks for the quick reply, I will probably have it done by an independant auto service to install the struts.
