What tool was that to remove the top hat from the strut. I haven't seen that style before.

Thanks. It looked a lot different on the video. I've got a similar kit by harbor freight but didn't have the 10mm pieces that slot on. The sockets in their kit are also 6 point instead of 12. I mainly use the scheaban open sided sockets.

I was going to buy the same set until I realized it's not a 12-point. $21 is not bad just to have the set available though.

I used the schwaben strut nut socket which is the super poor mans way of doing it. Then, I held the 10mm inside with a 1/8" drive socket with and elbow. Prior to this, I tried the 10mm 75 degree offset wrench but it would rub a little and I didn't want to do that.

Yea I've been using this setup. I may grab that kit linked though.

Is that a RWD or X drive in the video?
