    Would you be able to measure & tell us what the max & min dimensions of the spreader tool are please?

    Nailed one side tonight. No spreader, just an Allen key from a cheap Bunnings set of about 24 Allen keys, one of which was also the PERFECT size to fit in the top of the coilover. Funny thing was, not one single one of the expensive kits had the right size.
    M14 bit wasn't required either. Vice grips did the job with no signs of them even having been there.

    I'll get the other side finished tomorrow and then prep up the tutorial.

    Cheers, Jimmy! Might need to come see you soon for a couple of bits and pieces I want to get done.

    Checked my strut tops and gave them a freshen up. They were in pretty good condition, so I'll probably give them another six months before replacing.

    Had some other dramas, but it's all done now and ride is good.

    Soooo, I WAS intending to load up the tutorial tonight, complete with video, but that kinda went out the window at 6:30 this morning... I'm in hospital for at least this week.

    Stay tuned, people!
