    Spanner Wrench Fit For Koni Coil Overs?

    Can anyone share a specific wrench that fits the Koni's?

    I have two, one of which is adjustable, however neither fit

    I got this one from Speedway Motors that works fine on my RED-KONI's.

    NON are needed. You adjust them with the spring tension OFF

    As Rich says, a wrench is generally not needed. But one time I had a shock sag enough that I needed the wrench to get back to ride height.

    A Williams 0-472 works perfectly. I got mine from Mark Reynolds at Breeze.

    Looks similar to what I bought. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    My rings were stubborn, even unloaded, and this tool worked perfectly to get them to turn without damaging anything.

    Definitely take the load off the springs but if they are still a little stubborn, stick the short end of an Allen key in the hole and give'r a tug.

    Thanks guys
    Yup I have a couple that are stubborn. Is there a rule of thumb with a Ford 8.8 solid rear with front FFR suspension that can be kept in mind one can expect to see for turns of the nut vs height?
    Ie, 1 full turn should see 1/8” rise or drop, etc.


    Cheers

    Factory Five has provided one with their kits for years. It is a bare metal thing with a tab on it, and hole on one end. It doubles as a Rivnut setter. I know this sounds goofy., but it is actually true.
