rear struts and strutmount. In progress

[Myco]

I'm putting on the rear tokico's on my car. Took the old strut-mounts off. (they were horribly cracked btw) my camera was dead. Anyway, putting on the new bushing is a cunnundrum. Tried putting in on the mount while it was off the car and couldn't get it on. Figured it would press on. BUT I thought i'd press it on from the top. That isn't the way to do this is it? You need to put it on the mount before putting it in the trunk. Am I right?

grrr

now I have a new problem. A lug nut decided to thread incorrectly and can't get it off my car. POS That tire is already missing a lug so I'll have to drive it to the shop with only 3 lug's holding the tire on.

I just plan everything like this:

1.) Nothing is easy
2.) Its going to take 3 times as long as you think to actually complete your task
3.) Whatever can go wrong, will go wrong
4.) No matter what Im doing somehow I always end up with bloody knuckles
