Unhappy Sealed strut conv. 2 serviceable ?

Would it be possible to convert the camry sealed struts to serviceable like they did to this celica ?http://www.y8s.com/celica/suspension.html
And is it convenient compared to buying them or there's too much work to b done ? Thanks for ur input !

Seems like a viable project. I swapped assemblies, but that doesnt look to bad if youre willing to do the work.

i found kyb GR2s that are servicable and they sold the whole assembly ... so bought those.. the only thing is it is marked as sealed but if u cut open the 4 weld points it is a threaded cap on it.. so it turns to servicable struts after removing the weld points... good luck...

U saying that under the welded plate there's a screw on cap or the plate itself is screwed and welded on four points ?
By the way how much did u pay for the GR2 and where did u find them ?
