      Bilstein B6 and it's a really easy job if you have the 2069a tool and a Janis special to retighten it if you want to keep the strut on the car. If not A pipe wrench to undo the top cap and wreck the nice new Bilstein strut cap.

          Bilstein.

          You can also use a box wrench made by Walter of Germany.

          Size is 25 x 28.

          Din 896.

          This will open the strut cap on your strut.

          It is comparatively inexpensive and should be available in a decent tool shop.

          Something like this image.

              I went for cheaper option as money was tight, but had bad experience. Go for Bilstein B6 and you'll have an amazing handling car. I can chuck mine about and it just feels awesome.
