[urq] Castle nut tool

[Wolff]

There are three specialized tools involved in strut removal on the urq. Well
4 if you count the spring compressor. Ok 5 if you count the tie rod end
popper.... Ok let's just stick to the VAG specific ones. :-)

3078 $43.70 =22MM wrench with cutout for an allen key. You can get away with
using an offset box end wrench for this one.

VW524 $29.20 = tool to remove slotted nut from strut bearing. (only do this
with coilsprings properly and safely compressed with a coil spring tool.)
You really need this tool. Is this the castle nut tool you are looking for?

2069 $42.35= tool for the retaining cap on the strut housing. Some people
just use a pipe wrench. I used to do that, but the 2069 with an impact
wrench is the way to go.

You can order the Zelenda Catalog here:

You can oder the tools direct from them at 888-892-8348

Castle Nut tool for the castle nut on the top of the struts.  I found the
Hazet site but no castle nut tool.
