i can spare the housings, but I'm not that skilled with an angle grinder to avoid not going to deep and nicking the koni insert..
they need 100 orders to make a new strut.
I think we should get some of the vendors together to order 100 rear B13 externally adjustable struts.. maybe G-Spec and Jimi can order 75 and 25..

Assuming that the jbweld is only at the top and bottom of the strut and they didn't do something really perverted like coat the whole length... You might well be able to score through the stuff around the top with a knife. It's hard to tell how bad the stuff is at the bottom from the pic, but you might be able to use a chisel to break up the worst of it, then clamp the top of the insert (not the shaft) in a padded vice, and apply enough torque to the housing to break the JB Weld loose. You could bolt something to the strut ears to get enough leverage.
I really wonder if the right person at Bilstein was reached, if they wouldn't have something appropriate to replace the discontinued Konis with.
