<VV> Front suspension rebuild advice

[Harry Yarnell]

Nope, you guys that want to disassemble a front suspension OFF the car, are 
nuts! FAR easier (a relative term), and safer to pull the suspension parts 
off while still in the car. I've done it both ways, and leaving the 
crossmember in til last is the only way to go...
