    Need to borrow a part.

    I need the cap wrench for threading and unthreading Bilstein inserts. Does anyone have one I can borrow? Here is a picture of the tool.

    Channel locks and a shop rag have always worked for me.

      A punch and hammer. Tap gently with the punch in the slot in the direction you need to turn it.

              I made my tool with a piece of angle iron and a cutoff wheel.

                  I have the tool but am no where near you.

                  I found Bilstein has at least a couple sizes. On one E30 I was pulling the struts out on the tool didn't fit so second best was a plumbers wrench, worked great.
