strut nut help 200 82

posted by  someone claiming to be Onkel Udo on  Mon Aug 23 10:52 CST 1999 [RELATED]

I finally got all of the front end work done on the girlfriend's 245 but there is one thing I have not been able to complete. I cannot get the top strut nuts threaded all the way down. You don't even want to know how we got the old ones off (it involved much destruction of haredened steel).

I have tried the impact wrench at high & low speeds. I am about to cut & weld a perfectly good 24mm deep socket into a "special tool" but I can't get that done until tomorrow & I need the car tomorrow.

Any ideas?
