t0m4ever Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Hello everyone, My brother's Fiesta suffered from a snapped spring while sitting on the drive (fairly common so itseems), and I said I'd replace them for him as the garage was going to charge over £800 for the privalege! The only problem I'm having is accessing the top nut, I have an 18mm swan neck spanner, but it won't reach the nut. I assume other people have managed to change the springs themselves, so how do you reach the nut? Are there thinner spanners available which will fit in the hole or a special tool I can buy? The only other option I've got is take the struts to a friendly garage and ask them to air gun them. Thanks for any help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerFlame Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Wont a long reach socket reach? When my front left spring snapped I bought a strut from a scrapyard for £15! It was almost brand new aswell. So i now have; One strut with snapped spring & another spare spring attached to a crash damaged strut from my old fiesta :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
