Bilstein Centering tool in Seattle?

[ojingoh]

I forgot to order the tool when I ordered my Bilstein Sport Struts, the one that allows you to grip the collar from both sides when installing the strut into the front housing.

this thing

Does anyone in the Seattle area have this tool handy?

Thanks

that tool looks really handy...

for the koni's I have I used vice grips up at the top of the strut so that even if they were compressed the area wouldn't travel inside the strut tube.

Just use a plumers wrench but that tool does look really handy.

I should still have it, I'll double check tonight. Only issue is I'm in Olympia. If you can't find one closer you're welcome to come use it.

Finally did this yesterday... went well with the tool. Anyone in the Seattle area who's adding Bilstiens to their whip I'll share the tool.
