Nic Day Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 On an earlier thread I was asking about setting up the ride height of my new Freestyle dampers and some one said I will need a 1.9inch C spanner!!! Now I have been calling around a few motorist centres and they are all laughing at me when I ask if they have one!!! Am I being silly and asking for the wrong thing!!!? If I am not silly, where can I get one tonight in between Northampton and Dunstable?

Support Team Shaun_E Posted February 27, 2006 Support Team Share Posted February 27, 2006 Adjusted my Bilsteins last weekend with a hammer and screwdriver! With the car jacked up so the suspension is on full droop, the locking ring needed tapping to unlock it and then I could turn the other ring by hand or at least using gentle taps with the screwdriver. I understand that the AVOs don't have a locking ring in which case should be even easier - is there a grub screw to stop it moving? Of course a C spanner would make the job easier though.
