Thank you teeners! |

QUOTE(ctc911ctc @ Oct 20 2025, 11:34 AM)  Don't tell anyone - I may use the pipe wrench method ...... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif) Definitely the best way to remove. I’ve done dozens of them. Might gouge the gland nut a little while tightening but it’s all hidden under the strut dust cap. It’s more important to be tight than pretty. The stock “tool” is junk. |
