Bob; You have the right idea about rebuilding the struts. We found that using two pipe clamps, and putting a 1 X 4 through each of the top and bottom fittings, you can compress the strut enough to pop the snap ring out of place. Once it is loose, you just release the pressure and pull the assembly apart. Reversing the process once the new parts are in place gets the unit back together. You will find that after you do 2 or 3, you get quite good at it. >g< You do not need to take the top apart to put the spacers in, just fasten them in place at the top of the cylinder before putting the outside one, with the doughnuts, back in place. I believe that the center Bakelite bushing may have to be reamed to fit, but I am not sure of that. Good luck.
