Hi everyone hope this isn’t boring but I just thought it might help anyone who is planning to do this job so I decided it was time to replace the squeaky top mounts on my van today, the hardest part of the job was trying to undo the drop links I eventually had to cut them out with a reciprocating saw . My van is on air ride so once I had delt with the drop links it was a straight forward job to remove the strut assembly. Whilst it was off I inspected the bearing races and repacked them with grease then set them to the manufacturers torque setting of 26 ft/lbs . Btw the strange looking wooden jig is something I made to hold the strut and brake disc in position for reassembly as I found in the past when I did this job the disc etc drops down and disengages the drive shaft and pulls the rubber gaiter off also it makes it easier to adjust the body height with a jack to position the strut back 
into place.
into place.
