gotta ? ok so i had to cut the ball thingy out. now i have the two nuts and the bolt on the trunk still but my strut is off. with those 2 nuts and 1 bolt how can i get them off?
it looks like the outside nut is welded @ four diffrent points. should i
a) drill out the remainder of the bolt itself
b) take it to lexus
c) SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!
Im kinda bumed cuz the bolts are rounding off instead off coming off. and this "easy" project isnt easy anymore

I did a Google search for part number SG326003 and found some more on Amazon for about $32 a pair shipped
http://www.amazon.com/Stabilus-SG326.../dp/B000GZAWVG
and at theautopartsshop.com for $36 shipped

Great write-up, there's another one on this site that goes into more detail about which bolts are welded and which one's actually turn. Has a lot of photos too
LOVE THIS FORUM!

Has anybody been able to find a place to get these other than the dealer? I tried ebay and got escrewed (beware seller dybusiness2, says his props work for our cars but they don't and he won't refund!!). I've spent hours looking through the lifts rack at the local auto parts store and nothing. I tried contacting the NVOconcepts company that has been mentioned in other posts and evidently their phones and email don't work. Is there a Mighty Lift or Strong Arm that kinda sorta works? Thanks!

Man I love this site going to my local pepboys right now after I'm done reprinting my grill to pick up a set I'll post later on to see if it's still in the $25 range
Ok so update I went to my local pepboys and they were $25 dollars a piece so i bit the bullet and bought them went to install them in my car and it was missing the most important screw thing with the ball welded at the end. Called them up and the lady tells me if it came like that then thats how it is nothing we can do I was pissed went to advancded auto parts bought a set for $70 installed in 2 minutes flat went to return the other set at Pepboys and couldnt find the dam reciept so I ended up getting a $55 store credit........Theres a reason why pepboys does everything for less
