RE: Strut cap removal tool?

["Livolsi, Stephane" <livols1@investorsgroup.com>]

Gary, I recently did mine and I managed to get it with a big pipe wrench
and a 10 foot metal bar. (yes that probably was overkill but it's all I
had available)  Do you have the struts off of the car?  I did mine while
the struts were still on the car, and the wheel on the ground using a
method posted by another lister.  If you want more info on this, let me
know.

Good luck
