Situation:

I have KYB's, I just bought Bilsteins. My car is in storage right now and I am a little confused. I have MM Caster/Camber plates on my 86 right now. Since I cannot visually look at the setup because it's been so long, I am unsure about getting the front struts out. Can I zip the nut of of the strut tower without moving the plates? Basically, can I get these old struts out, new struts in without messing with the plates. I know that by switching the struts out it could throw off the settings, but no where near if I took the plates off entirely. I have a autocross race to go to this Sunday and really need my settings to remain the same.

Yes, all that is needed to to remove the strut bolt and slide it out from the caster camber plate.
