Hi all ,
thought i would install my coilovers today on my 1.8t sport. Trouble is when i was attempting to slacken the nuts on the top of the struts ( inside engine bay), the bit where you insert the allen head to hold them still,while you undo the 21mm nut ( I was using a modified socket, ground flat at the sides to hold with a spanner and a hex bit socket ) The centre hex bit of the strut has split so now wont hold my hex socket tight.
Basically I need a new method of loosening these, has anyone else had this bit split and been unable to loosen the nut?
cheers Kryt
