You need a special "C" spanner for these inserted tops. They are aftermarket replacements. Originals can be removed with a large spanner or in the vice as they have a hexagon on top. Try a suspension place for the tool to get your tops unscrewed. The tool costs about $60 to buy one. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Adam Jackson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, 24 February 2002 15:02 PM Subject: removing strut inserts
