Be careful!!! The spring must be compressed enough to remove all tension from the upper bearing. The spring will become loose between the upper bearing and the lower mounting plate. When you remove the top nut from the strut shaft the bearing should lift right off and there should be not spring pressure on it. Be sure to line everything up correctly when putting it back together.
