Well Last night i finally decided to start my suspension project (thanks to Jeff)...I rented the spring compressor from Murrays and layed out all my new parts, springs, struts, strut towers...
Its a long story but to make it short...Jeff gave me his old suspension...what im trying to do it take his old suspension apart take the dust boots the bumper stops and anything else I need and assemble my new stuff then this weekend take my old stuff off the car and just slap on the new setup on. sounds easy no?
Well I got as far as the first one when I realized I dont have the right tool to get the top bolt off the strut assembly
What I need is a 21MM Deep Offset Box Wrench
Something similar to this pic...
the highest Sears had in stock was a 19MM the only way to get one is to mail order a whole set of wrenches which is a 80 dollar set...
I tried to rig up something but im not having any luck...a socket held by vice grips and a torx bit thru the middle really didnt give me any help..lol
Anyone got one I can borrow for a weekend, or an idea how to get this bolt off? I sprayed all the bolts with PBblaster last night maybe it will be a little easier tonight...I dont know, all I know is im getting aggrivated and should of just took it somewhere to get it done..lol
