I dont know which side to cut, but how exactly would he get the clipped part of the spring off of the strut if he cuts it while it is still perched? Also, if the accidentally gets the strut piston with the grinder, its time for a new strut. I dont know which side to cut, my guess is the top, dont take my word though, but TAKE THE ASSEMBLY OUT AND DISASSEMBLE IT FIRST.
