I need the tool that tightens the lock collar to the strut housing that holds the shock in the strut. I know you can use channel locks but I would rather have the right tool. Anyone know where I could find one?

I am just afraid it will back off though. Loctite it as well?Originally posted by cabriodster87"Honey? What color is this wire? Is it the same as that one? Are you sure? I don't believe it. OK, it works. Thank you sweetie."Originally posted by Kershawi've got a boner and a desire to speed.

pipe wrench works fine. if you get it on there tight with a pipe wrench, I doubt it would ever come apart. not sure if I'd use loctite on that either, as they already have a tendancy to seize making future repairs pretty difficult.
however if you really want the tool, you could try your local autozone or maybe a tire shop. some of them might have one for rent.

Yeah, big fucking pipe wrench.
I found this place a while back that had some cool tools, not related to this particular case though, but still useful.
