Re: MK4 Suspension

how did you guys get the nuts off the top of the struts? i tried a socket and it just kept spinning. then i thought ok a allen wrench and a wrench, but i cant find a allen wrench that fits and a normal wrench wont fit either cause its recessed.

Full suspension install write up with pictures: http://nclh.org/car/coilover_howto/

See step 21.

I used an impact to take it apart, and then regular tools to put it back together (to avoid over torquing).

Use a spark plug socket + crescent wrench + allen key.
That is what I did to put it back together:
- Put spark plug socket on the nut
- Put your wrench onto the socket
- Hold the allen key
- Loosen/tighten.
