Tein - Spanner / Tool Query

[Stagea_Neo]

Does anyone know if the tein tools/spanners come in different sizes?

Mine seem to fit the lock rings ok but when I lever on them to loosen the

lock rings, I just end up with skin of my knuckles when I slip and hit something

under the wheel arch.

Mine have part number: SST01-97001

Wasting your time then. I have JIC coilovers in my z20 soarer. Use a medium-large screwdriver and a hammer.

Im not joshing either hehe, it does actually work. Just some slight percussive maintenance

And you butcher the rings.

Tein spanners are not all the same sizes.

Cheers for the replies

Yeah no hammers, better to use correct tools.

Although in saying that, had to use hammer and 4inch nail

years ago to get lock nuts of my wheels which the 'correct' tool broke.

Here's a similar pic of the POS!!!!!! lock nut, mine had a domed head, or should I say doomed head!

Nah, if you do it right, and dont just go hell-for-leather on them, they are fine. I've adjusted mine so many times I lost count, and all the rings are still fine. But each to their own in the end.

If they are the C spanners that came with the car, chances are they are the right ones.

It's hard adjusting the height on the car if it hasn't been changed for a long time and they are slightly seized.

Take the coilovers off the car, spray with wd40 (make sure you don't get any on the shaft/seal) and then undo the rings.

Make sure you're turning them the right way.

i use the screwdriver technique as i have no spanners

does the job but takes 5 mins to raise an inch

Maybe mine are a little worn, might have to get the dremmel or file out to get more of a 'hook' happening at the end of the tool(s).

Hopefully Great Success!
