Help installing Koni Yellow/Anyone have a 3" pipe cutter?
Does anyone have a 3" pipe cutter I can borrow or use? I'm trying to do the Koni Yellow install: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=39028
Although I can use other cutting tools, I do want to reduce the risk of screwing up so I would like to use the tool recommended in the tutorial. Or does anyone else have access to tools that can make a precise cut through the strut housing for installing the Koni Yellow inserts? |

a pipe cutter will make a clean/prefect cut
but if you're in a jam, any other cutting tool will do the job of slicing the body open. Other than neatness though, there isn't a need to have the cut done perfect since the Koni bolts through the bottom... the left over "body" is just along for the ride.

Does Home Depot rent them big enough? I'm 99% sure I saw pipe cutters for rent when I rented a sawzall a few weeks ago.

Yeah, hack saw is just as effective albeit a touch slower. Did yellows in my old SRT-4.

Just use a fine file afterwards to clean up the cut.
