Fitting coilovers

Featured Replies

I've done a quick search but can't seem to come across anything. 

 

Can someone give me some advice on what tools I'll need to fit my newly ordered coilovers. I'm not sure on specific spanners etc and would like to get them all off a mate before I attempt to fit them.

 

Cheers for the help,

Tom. 

- decent set of spanners (not sure of all the exact sizes needed)

- 7mm allen key for the top mount

- socket set

- strut spreader will help alot.. can be done without but not worth the hassle

- hammer

- spring compressors

- M14 spline for removing the bolt clamping the strut

 

probably missed a couple out but that's what I can remember :)

21mm swan neck spanner for top mount

Cool, cheers lads.

If anyone thinks of anything else that would be great. Can't wait to get these fitted.

VW use silly sizes

They like 18mm (M12) and 16mm (M10) for some funny reason so id make sure i had a couple of these sockets / spanners
