I'm having a problem tightening the nut that holds the top of the front shock absorber. I've used an impact wrench, but still can't tighten it enough without the shock turning.
Did the factory have a special wrench to hold the support washer (911 341 018 00) that fits into the slot cut into the threads on the top of the shock absorber? If so, does anyone have a pic and/or description?  -- Rob |

Use a spanner wrench. It has a hook that grabs the slot in the big washer. The washer is keyed to the shock top.
I don't have a picture handy of what I use, but they are called spanners. I don't use them very often, but they work well. I believe the set that I have came from either Northern Tools or Harbor Freight. |
