Ok, this is how I do it.........Bolt the top 3 bolts in first and if the lower bolt hole is not lined up with the lower mount, I get a pipe wrench and rotate the strut until it lines up. It will be kind of jerky while turning with the pipe wrench but it is easy to turn. Also make sure you put the pipe wrench low on the strut near the weld so as not to damage the strut tubing. Let us know if you still have problems.
