[s-cars] Strut bolt-- tool #?

[Jason Mawhinney]

When I did struts on my A4, I used an 18mm spark plug wrench that had a 3/8" 
square drive as well as a hex "bolt end" on it so you could hold a wrench to 
it and still put a long allen key through to keep the piston from turning.

I'm not sure what size the S cars strut nut is though.  I've also used an 
offset wrench to break the nut loose before....again, not on an S-car.
