While removing LCA, I had to place jack under brake rotor and lift it up, then LCA was free to come out.

Now to install new one, it is not possible to lift up by placing jack under rotor as it is free to move horizontally. How to lift up strut so that 3 holes in LCA can be aligned. Compressing the spring alone doesn't work as [img:955d96293c]http://www.2carpros.com/forum/automotive_pictures/207067_IMG_01190_1.jpg[/img:955d96293c]
