Rear Strut Nut

[silver93sho]

I am wanting to check my rear strut nuts with the struts installed still. The kyb-gr2's have a 19mm nut and i have been searching the internets for a 19mm specialty tool but cannot find one...what are you guys using?

You talking about the nut on top of the strut? If so I usually use an extention with a crows foot like this

I think I got mine at Sears but most any tool place should have them.

I don't think a crows foot will fit, there isn't enough room down there. It needs to be a deep/long 19mm with the 3/8 or 1/2 attach point at the top of it. I can find them for Honda's all day long but not in a 19mm deep. Some even have a long handle on them to use instead of a ratchet...

Worked on my '90 years ago. Had to remove the rear package tray IIRC. It was a tight fit but it worked.

hi-offset boxed end wrench works ok.

luigisho- just doesnt fit enough in a gen 2.

K-Dawg- Good idea, never thought of that, thanks!

pjtoledo-Good point also, i have one that is a 1 1/2" offset but it needs to be like 2" so i will check that out also.
