its a pain to get the whole strut assembly out.. BUT it does come out. You need to have someone pushing down on the hub with their foot to make it go low as possible the move the strut assembly to the left side (towards the door) and carefully rotate the top shock mount untill you can get it all to clear

ps i used those same ghetto spring compressor and had to turn it with a hand wrench.. haha took so long.. but it will come out ive done it numerous times. your struts arent too tall haha. tape up the wheel well just incase and get to it
