FK wrenches

[ryukin2000]

Does anyone have FK Coilover Wrenches that I could borrow or even swing by to use on the spot. I just replaced my strut mounts and my rears are sitting lower by a bit. The coils were adjusted at the time of install about 90k ago by hand. The kit never came with the wrenches and I don’t want to pay 50 bucks(@C1) for a one time use tool.

yeah it's probably seized but i gotta try at least. Anti-seize compound was put on but I doubt that has held up.

Did you attempt this yet? Curious to see the condition of the threads with using the anti-seize compound

Re: FK wrenches

Your FK's were good enough after 90K km to justify replacing just the strut mounts? Amazing. Mine were done pretty much after 30K km. Bouncy, slightly leaking and seized.
