Musta been national work on your Toyota week this week...
Yesterday was front strut replacement day on my Tacoma.
What a chore.
Between the rust and loctite some doof used the nuts

, having to cut the top studs off to get the assembly out because the press in studs spun out because of the loctite I didn't know about and having to improvise a spring press to disassemble/reassemble the struts it took nearly 6 hours to do both sides.

All that and the only thing really wrong with the old shocks was the eye bushings were shot.

About a month ago I did all 4 ball joints, CV axles, CV axle support bearing, seal and brake rotors/pads and I don't believe it took that long....
