Alright guys I cannot get this as I assume there is some special tool. But I figure I might as wlel ask in case there isn't.
I just bought some GR-2's and installed the rear ones in like 45minutes... now for the front :shock: It ended up I had to put all the stock stuff back together cause I cannot, for the life of me, get the front sturt out of its casing because of that damn collar lock thing. Its like over 2" and I have no tool big enough to get on it to loosen it. So I tried using a pipe wrench and it wasnt strong enough. I know in the faq on this site it sys to use a "big boy" pipe wrench but WTF? Do you think its just cause it wasnt big enough? How much is the "special" tool and what is it? Id likely say they have never been changed which is why its probably so hard to break loose. Is tehre a special tool i need to get in order to loosen it so I can get the old strut out? Please help me asap, Im going to an autoX soon and cant be riding on blown struts. Thanks guys,
Austin
