Thanks for the reply Lenny. The problem I have is that the aft strut support does not lay down flat against the strut in order to slip it through the wheel pants. I thought about disassembling the strut but figured it would be difficult to reassemble once enclosed inside the pant. I am thinking about grinding down the brace that attaches the aft support to the strut but am concerned about weakening the assembly. The only other alternative is to tie down (i.e. forcing it to lay down) the aft support to the strut but once again I am concerned I will damage/bend the aft support in the process. I suppose a call to Robart is in order????

Thanks for the advice guys and Happy New Year to all!
