bilstein strut tool (5)

[Keith Lawyer]

I've always used a huge pair of Channel-Loks thru the side of the coil
spring to remove the strut retaining cap.  Not ideal but I've been lucky
and it's always worked for me.

Nonethless, nice job posting pics, can never have too many.

So, can you still use the "accordian" boot w the Bilsteins?
