Sorry I just saw this, I'm at a hotel business center. Do an advanced search on my name + insert. There are two easy ways to go. Neither method requires that you remove the strut case and no spring compressor is used. Someone came up with a good way taking the upper strut mount off and loading the insert through the hole in the wheel well. I just remove the spring by pressing down on the control arm w/ the sway disconnected and pulling the strut outward to clear the fender lip.

The inserts are not rebuildable.

However, they make great snowman arms...
