How to change strut mounts?

I OWN A 95 MAZDA PROTEGE, MY FRONT STRUT MOUNTS HAVE GONE COMPLEATLY GONE OUT. I GOT THE CAR FROM MY BOYFRIENDS PARENTS, THEY UESED J.B WELD TO HOLD THEM IN. NOW THEY HAVE TO BE FIXED. I BOUGHT THE MOUNTS FROM A LOCAL AUTO ZONE, HOWEVER NO ONE COULD TELL ME HOW TO CHANGE THEM OUT. DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW? OR HAVE A HOW TO WEBSITE I CAN GO TO?How to change strut mounts?
ill tell you how to do it but is not easy for newbies



raise the both front tires and put jack stands (that will help you to release and adjust the link at the strut)



remove 2 17mm bolts on the strut

remove the link with an 6mm allen and 12mm wrench (thats is one style of link but same car uses (depend on location) different links styles)

remove 3-4 12mm on the top of the strut



now with springs compressors, release the 19mm nut but not completely or the spring can take off really hard and serious hurts can occur, compress the spring and release completely the 19mm nut and that's it



ill charge you 20$ bucks for the info, ill spy on your computer for any credit car numberHow to change strut mounts?
The strut mount plates are installed on shocks then the assembly is installed in the car.
