Me amd my mate were going to do my suspension at the weekend, but didnt have the right tool apparently. So does anyone know what the name is of the tool that it used on the top of the suspension arm (im not sure on technical names!) that allows you to release the springs? We axed vaux, evenm showed em diagram and they just said they didnt know!

think its an 18 but it has to be really dropped and rather thin, as to get around the bolt. good idea to just loosend it 90 degrees while the strut is still bolted to the car just so you can get the leverage.
