[s-cars] Tool Number 2069 for front strut cap

[Robert Rossato]

.... or maybe yours were just really rusted on.  I've done three sets of
these and, while I've had the whole strut out because of spring change,
it won't be any different than if its in the car.  I placed the strut
housing in a vice and then placed an 18" pipe wrench on the cap.  In
each case I was able to loosen the caps without too much effort.
