Pulled it as tight as I could, then used my pry bar to pull the upper bar down further. I was pulling about as hard as I could. Then I'd tighten the strap to hold it there. Put the jack on the bolt below the rotor. If u have a helper they are very useful at this point. I had my girlfriend crank the jack while I guided the bolt up to the arm. Once it was close I cranked as hard as I could again on the pry bar until I could feel thread and get the nut on. At that point the hard stuff is done.

The only issue I had is when taking off the calipers the pads fall off. I either didn't get something right putting them back. Or I accidently turned the wrong bolt once and bled out some fluid. So now my brakes are softer. I'll mess with them this weekend.

The spacer goes on top of the strut so you don't actually undo the strut. Which is nice because when I did my ex's Liberty back in the day the spacer went in the spring and you had to compress it. Was a huge pain in the ***.

So pull the strut and then spin it 180 degrees and put it back in. The directions I used didn't say to spin it 180 so I was confused for a bit on how to get the bolt holes to line up. That part is really easy. The only difficult part is getting the upper and lower arms to get close enough together to reattach the upper arm bolt.
