Hi all wot tools do i need to remove top mount off strut looks like allen key and swan neck spanner sizes plz

21mm nut, 7mm allen key i think.

Ive got a socket with the side cut out do to them, if you get a swan neck spanner it really needs to be deep.

Airgun also does the job.

Your a legend cheers dude

And a spring compressor, m14 spline for hub nut, hub splitter or crow bar

Cheers dudes its a 7mm allen checked today close tho lol

Hi.

Can anyone list the exact parts needed for me to remove front coilovers ? I need to take the strut out to fit some coil sleeves to stop some creaking noises

I already have coil compressors, halfords 150 pro tool set (http://www.halfords....55215&langId=-1)

So I would need to buy:

Spline socket ? http://www.amazon.co.uk/Laser-4147-Spline-100mm-Long/dp/B0039U3PMI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1340092431&sr=8-1

strut splitter ? http://www.amazon.co.uk/Laser-3396-Strut-Nut-Tool/dp/B0039UQ4OE/ref=sr_1_1?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1340092471&sr=1-1

If I take the drop links off can I re use the bolts? I'm sure ive read the bolts are use only once type.

Also torque settings for:

1) top mounts

2) strut in hub bolt

3) drop link bolts

Thanks guys
