Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Replacing 512TR Front Lift Struts

[Martin Stark (mstark]

Check to see that the end hole diameter is the same as the current ones.  I had to slightly enlarge those on the replacements I bought.  Have a pair of heavy duty long nose (needle nose) pliers handy to remove and replace the cotter pins.  I went in through the battery box on the passenger side and found that replacing only that side was sufficient.

Mine didn't work any longer, so bought a set of these:

Although my first impression is that they look much different than the struts now installed in my 1992 512TR, and I'm not known for my mechanical abilities, I'm willing to give the job a try.  But before I do, any tips (other than to find a friend who's experienced and competent to help)?

Thanks,
Larry
