Struts

I just had struts put in and a bunch of other stuff done like a cooler. The mechanic made it a point to tell the manager what a pain it was to get my koni's in. I've done struts before but wasn't about to try this.

I made a tool from a sock 17mm deep socket. Filed down two flat for an open end wrench. Bought high quality allen wrenches for the strut spindle.
