I need the tool that tightens the big round nut with two holes in the top. It holds the the shock insert into the strut can. Does anyone know of a source for this? No Paragon does not have it. Anyone have one they want to sell?

There is a shop at Sonoma Raceway that rebuilds Koni's.
I can't recall the shop name, but i expect they would have the tool. KT |

Hey Trek. Yea its PSI. I was there yesterday and saw the tool, but I wasn't feeling it to ask them to borrow. I think it would be good to have one. I may try to make one from an extra nut...

Plumbers pipe wrench works well too as it's designed to tighten it's grip as you apply torque.

Thanks for the info. Cheers! QUOTE(Krieger @ Jun 13 2013, 06:38 PM) Hey Trek. Yea its PSI. I was there yesterday and saw the tool, but I wasn't feeling it to ask them to borrow. I think it would be good to have one. I may try to make one from an extra nut... |
