cut them while they're still compressed??? that's not the best idea in the world.....:disappoin
can anyone help with changing struts on a 2000 sienna?
my dad is changing the struts on it but cant get the springs off. we have tried two different compressors and niether of them compress far enough. we are open to any suggestions on how to get them off. i told him to just cut the stupid things and get new springs but he doesnt want to do that...yet.

No, don't cut it while they're still with the shock :thumbdown
It's a 2000. Replacing struts so soon?

Maybe if you unscrew the nut on the top of the piston rod while they're still installed in the car, then slowly jack that corner up? That might get them off, but it'd sure be a bitch to get the new struts in.
good way to take out your knee caps 
take them to a shop if you can. they should be able to do it for a nominal fee.

its got about 130k miles on it.
we finally got them off. ended up using both types of spring compressors at the same time.
