Frodo, this is what I was trying to say.. (English is my second language, and my computer skills are way worse..LOL)



PS: If you look closely, inside the yellow circle is a thin metal sleeve, to compensate for 'thinner struts' one time I tried to get a coilover without removing the sleeve and the strut got stuck inside the hub and applying a bit of force with a praybar or a big screw driver (not hammering..) that allowed me to remove the strut, you don't need a lot of force
.
Edit: Just remembered that I used a heavy screwdriver as a lever to 'pry open' the gap on the hub carrier (the hub is a pretty hefty part by itself..) and used the other hand to push the strut upwards out of the hub
