Default strut tool

Hello,all.I came across a tool specifically for W-body cars.It allows one to replace the struts without removing the whole assembly. No alignment is needed after replacement. AmPro T75505.Thing is I didnt get the instructions for the tool.Anybody use this tool or have instructions?Thanks.Muley

Is this tool for the front. Cartridges?
Or the rear struts?

Sir,I dont know as there arent any instructions included.Every AmPro tool website Ive tried is no help.Ive even tried contacting the main office.The guy I got it from said he was in the alignment bidness for years so Im wanting to say this will be for the front struts. $10 for the tool, looks new,never used just no instructions. Muley

I didn't have any luck finding instructions either - even on the Ampro site. Maybe you could contact them via the customer service link on their site and request a copy of the instructions?

Unfortunately,
There is no picture of that part# strut tool..
The picture shown on strut tools.. Is not the tool needed to remove/instahl the front strut cartridges..

So,
If your tool looks like the one shown on ampros site...im gonna pass on it...

That definitely..
Does not look like the cartridge removal tool.
For the fronts on a 1999!
