FK coilover key

[CupraElliott]

My coilovers are pretty seized so I am going to take them off and get them free again. But I dont have a key.

Does anyone know where I will get one? Or does anyone have one?

As far as I know there FK coilovers. Surely they all use the same key?

Thanks guys. There seized to buggery. I had the strut off today, stillsils on them and they wouldn't budge.

Looks like I will have to cut the check nuts off and get new ones.

its probably just all the dirt sticking to it mate, some bleech on a toothbrush with alot of elbow grease should get it off mate, mine were the same, now they're free-flowing!

 

[CupraElliott]

Mmm might try that then. I did give them a good soak in WD-40 before I tryed.

 

[Damoegan]

Soak them with some plusgas mate and they will come off.

Not good mate

Have you tryed a punch and a hammer?

 

[CupraElliott]

Tryed a screwdriver and a hammer. Ideally I need to spend a good weekend on them as I only had 2 hours spare at work today.

One of the captive top nuts decided to snap today too, ahhh the joys, I forgot how fun modern cars are to work on
