I know lol but for whatever reason they call them spanner wrenches for coilovers, that was how I was able to find a set for my Civic | |

| I have a set, for kts coilovers, you can use them if you want.
They are indeed spanner wrenches.
Really matters how much moisture/snow they have seen. If it's a reasonable amount they are frozen solid, if not then the collars should thread up/down well enough.
You should also blow out the threads/collars with compressed air before you move them. | |

| If that is all they moved with a punch and hammer I doubt the wrenches will help. Wipe the threaded areas down, then blast everything with PB Blaster. You're only moving the top ring of the bottom pair of lock rings correct?
You can borrow mine as long as I get them back in the same shape as they left. My schedule generally sucks. Tuesday & Thursday I'm home by 4:30. Monday, Wednesday, & Friday's don't work at all. Shoot me a txt if interested 2064262. | |

| Well, you used a small amount on one coilover, the rest you used on the floor. Give them a shot nightly, only enough to wet the threads and adjusters, if it is dripping off you have more then enough on there. Do it to all four. DD doesn't matter it is still soaking while you're driving. | |
