Hey guys,

I bought a 2.5rs with BC coilovers. Unfortunately the previous owner doesn't have the spanner wrenches.

Anyone know if the BC Coilovers have a unique spanner wrench design or would a universal or an adjustable spanner wrench work just fine?


Thank you for reading.

 

anything works. you can even use a flat head screw driver and a hammer. the collars are suppose to be tight, but not to the point where it would be impossible to unlock.

 

eh, IMO even thats a bit risque. you could slip and notch the threads.not a bad idea if absolutely need be. i have a couple you can borrow. PM me and we can meet up when im off work around 6

dont forget to fully clean and lube threads before moving the collars.

 

this works when you have great iclubbers lending a hand.. hah.. just a suggestion if he didn't have those wrenches at hand.

 

+1. im all about making lemonade, just sometimes it can cause more harm than good. but like i said, ive been there before, banging on that stuff with a BFG. just offering OP a chance to use proper tools before resorting to violence. hahaha. OP, if we cant meet up, clean threads nice and good and use hammer and screwdriver method if needed. if you have a slide hammer with a 90 degree hook, that may work as well. GL!

 

I got a set of Megan racing coilover wrenches for sale. 100 obo if they work :-)

 

Thank you guys for the replies. I gotta set up the email notifications for this forum, totally missed every reply.

I bought a an adjustable spanner wrench and it works great, I just have to hold the hook part tight against the collar or the wrench will go loose when I pull.
