Proper tool is a and impact wrench Posted by saabsince 93b [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Re: Strut top nut, Mike, Mon, 17 Oct 2011 07:37:55 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I have always done mine with an impact wrench. Soak the strut shaft with liquid wrench for a while and just have the impact wrench take it off.
You can replace the nut. Hardware store nylock. Grade is either 8.8 or 10.9.
8.8 has a tensile strength of 120,000 psi and 10.9 is 150,000 psi.....but you are tightening against a rubber mount so you really won't get much torque on this thing.....therefore any nylock that has the right thread pitch and diameter will work. Good hardware stores have this stuff.
