Advise on removing strut from fiesta - Steveo4869

Hi all,

Could anyone give me some advise on the best way to remove front suspension struts from the front of a ford fiesta mk 3 1.6 1991.
They seem quite tight in hub carrier and only seem to move when the carrier is hit downwards with a hammer but is this ok to do and then is it also ok to hammer the hub carrier back on to the new strut? (I have unbolted the trackrod ends and lower wishbone arms to give me more movement oh and obviously the strut pinch bolt) Any advise appriciated.
Many Thanks
Steveo
