I have a pass-through 3/4 drive socket wrench set that I used for mounting my Konis. You're welcome to use it if you still need it.

On the rear springs, you'll play hell trying to get a strap wrench to the shaft, but a decent pass through, or just a socket and vice grips (on the socket, NOT the shaft) made things much easier on mine. I used a crowsfoot to torque it and just heated and bent the crowsfoot to fit.

***warning***

Do not let other people wash your car. I learned this on the first car. Was at the car wash and her daughter kept asking. I gave in. She was using the spray wand a little to close. Of course was playing around with the force of the wand. She let go of the trigger and the wand smacked the car. Nice dent and small scratch throught the primer. I give up.
