Who knows where to get strut tools for the 5k's
I need both the one for the nut on top of the strut shaft, and the long hollow tube to get the cap off to pull the strut out. Used or new, just needs to get the job done. Putin H&R's and KYB's on.

Re: Who knows where to get strut tools for the 5k's
Sounds crude but I didn't use the special tools. I jacked the car up, loosened the housing nuts with a small pipe wrench between the spring coils. then lowered the car back down and used an allen wrench and a boxed end wrench on the top. Took maybe 30 minutes to change both sides.
NOTE: Do NOT remove the top nut and let the strut shaft drop with the car up in the air. The spring will distort and you wont get it out.
