Possible to change strut boots on car ?

[Ex-User (107751)]

I need to change the strut boots on the front coilovers, but don't want to take off the camber bolts, to avoid changing the alignment.
BC racing said it's possible to just take off the upper nuts and change the boots, without hurting alignment. Can anyone confirm that's possible ?

Just unbolt the brake caliper, track rod end and lower ball joint.
Why make a job harder than it needs be

As in the sleeve that goes in between the spring and the piston?

Cant see how you remove that from the top as the top mount is holding that on?

Not sure what BC meant, maybe after unscrewing the top nut, I will be able to remove the top mount in the space between the strut tower and the mount ?

Looking at that, I can't see that happening. Itll be very tight for space if that's the case.

How comes the need to change? Has it ripped?

Yes, both front ripped theirselves, not sure if I should bother replacing them.
