Spanner wrench alternative for coilovers.

Shout out to my buddy who made me this giant punch to adjust my 2.5 foxes.

The Fox spanner wrench doesn't work for a whole turn and you probably have to use an punch to help out. My store bought punch barely made it and by the time I was done adjusting the coilovers I was sore for 2 days. Lol.
I knew I had to adjust them again at some point so I asked my buddy who likes to turn stuff on his lathe to make me a killer tool and this is what we came up with. 12" long for plenty of leverage and hardened steel for strength.

I just used it for the first time and it was amazing how easy it made the job.

 

I'm searching for one right now. I need to adjust my Fox 2.5s and want to order the spanner wrench and one of these punches. But I can't find one long enough.

 

I just cut the square end off a 12" 1/4" ratchet extension from Harbor freight. The round shaft is almost the perfect size but it's a little too big so just grind it until it fits into the hole.

Spanner wrench is useless if you have reservoirs as the hose blocks it completely. If you really want one, I have the Fox one that's basically brand new.

 

I ended up cutting the end off a large screw driver. It looks like it will be a perfect fit or maybe a little big. I'll find out this weekend. If it's to big I'll do what you said and grind it down a bit. Thanks.

 

Photos for reference. Photo was taken with truck on the ground so UCA interferes but no problems once jacked up.

 

You can buy a set of punches from harbor freight for about $8.00 (Comes as a pack in different sizes) and then add a long 1/2" black pipe from home depot to make it longer as a cheater bar.

 

Or you could use a spanner wrench....................
