Dang. The Koni measures 51mm...


Does your Koni hardware look like this?




The top strut washer not particular to Koni but the early cars did use a smaller washer.

Koni strut inserts use a different type of retaining nut. More like a spaner wrench is needed.

Very good information. Thank you. Do you know if early cars still had the same retaining nut for the insert? Assuming non koni/bilstein.

Yes the early cars had the same insert retaining nut if they had Boge struts.

Will having Konis make a difference in ordering ?


It all depends on what hardware you have but more than likely Konis will have their special retaining nut that won't work with this wrench.

Count me in.

After making my special Tie Rod Wrench some people expressed interest in a strut wrench so I made one. It 's laser cut out of 0.25" steel and would come bare. The great thing about this wrench is that it works on the top retaining washer as well as the special retaining nut (914-341-804-00) that is standard on stock 914 Boge struts.

Please note: This wrench will only work with what is pictured below. Please confirm that it will work for you.

I looked into pricing and these would cost $30 shipped conus. I would need at least 20 people for this to happen. If we get more people the price may come down a little bit. Please post here if you are seriously interested in one. Thanks.

Closes 9/12. I'll be placing the order the end of the day on 9/12

Okay... I am in.

This is a job I planned for this Winter if we have one.

Just wanted to give everyone an update. Life got in the way so these were delayed a bit. I should be receiving these next week at will start shipping them as I get them. Stay tuned.

I will message everyone the payment details after I get the wrenches.
