[BMWCSRegistry] Front Strut removal

[Louis Balla]

I am replacing my front struts.  Is there any special trick to loosening the 27 mm nut while holding the 11 mm extension of the strut?  When I removed the strut on my 740i there was a hex insert into the strut so it was easier to insert a hex key while putting a wrench on the nut.  The strut on my CSI seems a bit trickier due to lack of space.  Also, any suggestions on where to get strut bearings?  Bavarian  Auto has them for about $120 and CSI has them for about $100. 

Thanks,

Lou
