Turnbuckles for Shock Absorber Caps (39 pcs)

This bulky but versatile tool set will be super helpful when your auto service shop always work on suspension services. Once you jack off the car, take the wheels off, remove the anti-sway bar, you can unscrew the fasteners on top to take the MacPherson strut, or the front strut, off the car. The central strut is the place that usually gets problematic. The rubber boot outside the strut, or inside the coil spring, has the function to get the dirt and debris away from the strut. But as time goes by, the rubber boot might break, and the sand or some other small particles will be taken into the strut and cause the gaps between each part of the strut to wear off, and finally resulting the hydraulic fluid inside the strut leak. Usually when you take a look at the strut or the surrounding areas and find that there are stains or fluid spills, that means the strut needs to be replaced.

Replacing the strut is very easy but there are some places we need to pay attention to. The first thing is to use a high quality spring compressor tool. You may use the professional tool has is screwed on the wall, or use a sturdy spring compressor that can be attached to the spring from the side. Please do not use any flimsy or tricky-looking spring compressors because the force that the spring bounces back if the spring compressor fails can be dangerous, or even deadly. And you definitely don't want this happens to you. Once the coil spring is clamped down by a proper spring compressor tool, so that the gaps between each coil is smaller, you can see the top lid of the MacPherson strut becomes nice and loose and wiggling it around, and it's time to detach the top lid off the strut and the coil spring.

The top lid uses an interesting way to make itself hold in place. On top of the fastening nut you will see that there is a protruding part, there might be an internal hex, spline, or some other strange shapes, or external. That protruding part is part of the central shaft but the problem is when you turn, the top lid turns accordingly. So what we have to do is to first find a bit from this tool set which the shape of the bit fits perfectly to the top of the strut, and then second, use the hex socket, which is located on the upper lane of the tool set, to fit with the external hex on the top lid. The external hex holds the strut and the top lid together. Fit the two tools on, and turn the bit while hold the socket still, or to counter loose the two part, and then the central strut will be detached from the top lid. 

This tool set includes hex sockets with sizes from 14 mm to 27 mm, and the bits come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes.
