Front Suspension Nut sizes?

Post by MichaelGallagher »

Hi, hoping to put lowered springs on to my 6R, however I'm not sure if I have all the right size sockets and spanners. I think the drive shaft nut it is a 36mm, which I have for my oil filter but thats about it. Has anyone on here done this themselves and remember whats needed rather than me pulling everything off and looking only to put it all back on again after I discover I need to buy new tools. It's mainly the upper strut retaining nut size and the size of the nut thats on top of the strut that needs to be undone in order to remove the spring.

Also how tight are the nuts? will a long handled ratchet and spanner do the job or will I need to invest in an impact driver due to limited space?

Any help would be appreciated.
