Guest, 🎅🎄Looking for a stocking filler idea? Why not treat yourself or a loved one to our high quality CUPRA or SEAT valve caps. Order now from the merchandise store
its a sh1t sized one... but make sure you get it right! i couldnt find the right one either for some reason? get the smallest one that doesnt fit cos its too big and grind it down... i ended up rounding mine because i tried to use a too small allen key, and then ended up grinding the struts okk 
not cool.

There's no F in Quality..
Out of two sets ive got not 1 fits, mite pester my neighbour see if he has one. Do you no if its metric or imperial??
aftermarket will be a 6mm one though... so bear that in mind
I use a spark plug socket to undo the top nut. while holding the damper rod with the allen key.

There g-max that are on now but non of my allen keys fit so im guessing they have kept to oem style fittings, hopefully anyhow.

Yeah thats what i used for mine a 22mm socket to hold the nut and then i bout a 7mm i think allen key from halfrauds with a handle on for the allen bolt.

how'd people go about holding the socket though ?!? because you need access down through the centre of it for the allen key...
I used a set of mole grips to hold mine in place, just altered them so that they held the socket tightly in place and slid the allen key through
I used a friends spanner, which had ground down edges on the 22mm end. While my other m8 held the allen key I wound the spanner. Glad the lad leant me the spanner tbh as it made the job a whole lot easier.
As for allen keys, treat yourself to a nice set in a box from somewhere like the pro halfords ones or the likes. Tools never come in wrong

you can buy a socket that looks like a mouse has bitten half of it away from the side, cant remember the name but is very handy, means you can use the socket set handle and an allen key to loosen.
Sorted out the tool situation, trusty next door neighbour dude
Using a nice shaped spanner and his 7mm allen key. Went to halfords and the silly boy didnt have a clue.
