3. If the tire lifts off before the studs come out, the sawy bar ma be preventing that side from drooping enough. Put it down, and put ehe other side up on a jack stand and try again.

Bad idea.
Put the corner of the car in the air on a jack stand and take the wheel off.
If you're under there twisting the top mount to the correct orientation and the jack lets go, you'll lose your hand. Plus, you'll more than likely need to wrangle the strut a bit to get it back up into position, which you can't easily do with the tire on, and would be risky to your safety to do w/ the car only on a jack.
