[s-cars] 2069 tool for front strut replacment

[Mark Strangways]

Pipe wrench :(
Unless you are very creative, get a length of 1 1/2" black pipe, have a good
welder weld hard steel keys on the end to fit the Bilstein nut. For those
VERY creative, you can weld large 1/2" drive socket to the top of the pipe.
And there you have it a very nifty little bilstein tool. You might think
about it, cause chances are you will need it once or twice more.
