Top rear damper nut on FHC
Posted: Thu Jan 08, 2015 4:40 pm
I am fitting new spax dampers with new 2.25" springs to the rear of my Sprint FHC. I haven't got any suitable tools for tightening the top damper nut. Access is difficult because of the rear screen. I can get a 15/16" socket on it, but then I can't prevent the damper rod from turning because the flats for holding it are inside the socket! Due to the angle of the damper and the fact that the nut is down a hole in the fibreglass, even getting an open end wrench on it looks tricky, not that I have one that size.
Surely there is a neat way of doing this? I'm happy to buy a specialist tool if necessary, but what type? The photo is taken through the rear window.
