For anyone installing new struts, this trick works great. Flip the bolt around and put a washer in there. Then snug the bolt up to "separate" the fork. This not only makes it easier to take off, it makes it as simple as it gets to get the fork on the new strut.
You guys want to know a little secret to get an extra 1/4 of lift height? Well, the hole for the strut fork bolt is greatly oversized. So you want to make sure that when you install it, you have the fork as low as possible on the strut; increasing the overall length of the assembly.
