anyone have a Bilstein collar nut tool i can borrow?

[ebox86]

Go to the nearest Harbor Freight and buy the pipe wrench, undo the nut and return it.

yea we eventually went this route, got the 36" pipe wrench and it made short work of the nut.

Thanks guys!

You still looking for a pipe wrench?

Is that pipe wrench for sale or for borrow? i couldn't tell with the $20 laying there. If its for sale, i would for sure buy it. If you can let us borrow it, where abouts are you located? I can pick it up this evening

Bingo, yes sir, ok we'll keep that in mind, Olympia is a bit of a drive but still would make this 10x easier bar us buying a pipewrench or sourcing another tool here locally. thanks man!

I've never had a pipe wrench slip off. Ever.

Its a small to medium size pipe wrench tho, its not getting full teeth on both sides of the nut, and therefore, slipping. Normally i would agree but i don't have a 'monster size' pipe wrench as everyone seems to use for this.

I use two giant pipe wrenches.

Reattach a wheel to the strut and then put the wheel face down on the group. You should be able to get enough leverage to break that thing loose.

Thats a good idea and we'll try that but i fear leverage isn't our issue. We have vice grips and a medium size pipe wrench but all are slipping off. Either need a bigger pipe wrench or the bilstien tool.

Pipe wrench should do the trick

We tried that, still no luck :(
