tools for a strut and shock swap on MKIV

[Silverstoned]

Does anyone have the tool for spreading the spindle to remove the lower strut, as well as the two tools for properly torquing the lock nut on the top of the strut? Bilsteins came in yesterday (thanks Natty) and I want to rent a spring compressor and swap out the shocks ASAP.

Thanks!

Have the spreader tools in stock at CAW and I have a spring compressor.

I have the wrench and sockets and I think I have the spreader (is was missing for a while - have to make sure I have it). Brent (stonewall) has spring compressor and lives a block away from me... Not that I can lend you his tools - but would probably work out

Both of us are in Hidden Valley.

Just use a 3/8 to 1/4 drive reducer. it works better than the special tools imo

I second this.

Thanks for the input everyone. After a good fight with the fronts, they are on. Stonewall hooked me up with all the tools to get the job done, and GTR made sure I had all the parts needed.
