No more strutting around town

The struts on the Pulsar were completely shot; this was evident on the drive home after purchasing the car.  Today I replaced the rear struts.

The job wasn't hard at all.  After removing the rear wheel, brake line stay, and the upper and lower mounting bolts, the strut was easily removed.  

After removing the struts I dismantled the upper mount and removed the spring.  The springs on the rear weren't under a lot of tension and were easily removed.

I scrubbed all the parts with degreaser before assembling the new struts from Monroe.

Assembling the new stack was pretty straightforward.  I used new bellows, bumpers, and pillow mounts in the reassembly.

The new struts went back into the car as easily as they came out.  Now the rear end of the car won't strut about quite like it did on that drive home!
