Anyone in DFW able to help me finish installing my springs? HAD A MaJOR PROBLEM!

So the day before yesterday I attempted to install springs on my gd3. We got the car put on jack stands, supported the rotor to prevent the axle from popping out, but when we got the strut out and went to put the Allen wrench in the top and started trying to loosen the bolt so we could disassemble it, the all wrench stripped out the top of the shaft as well as breaking it off.....I freaked. That wasn't even on my mind of what could happen.

Okay so now, I just ordered a new strut from Honda and it will be in tomorrow morning. Would anyone be willing to help me finish all this up in the kennedale area? (i20 & Mansfield highway) my car is sitting in my friends parents garage. And I need to finishthis up tomorrow!

Thanks!

It would possibly be better to find a car friend to help you. DFW fitfreaks live around half an hour or more away from you.

Well those friends still live back home where I'm from in Tyler, 2 hours away lol 30 minutes is not a far drive in the dfw anyway, which is why I don't mind paying someone's gas and time or beer haha
