Post 36mm open ended wrench (rear height adjust.)

This part is listed as needed for the ride height adjustment, but I can't seem to find one anywhere to buy. Most adjustable cresent wrenches are also not quite big enough, or they're too thick to fit in there and adjust the big nut. I tried using a pair of vice grips, but they only succeeded to turn it a tiny bit and take a chunk out of my knuckle! Anyone do this adjustment and have a tool that worked well?

I use a impact wrench and there is a socket in my SAE impact socket set that fits like a glove.

I believe that a 1&7/16 wrench will fit.

I'll tell you tomorrow as I'm adjusting my rear end down. I'm hoping it pulls the front end up a little as the splitter is reportedly sitting only 2" off the ground. New Orleans roads will not allow that.

Danger, still interested in changing over to Fuchs? I may have a mild interest in your wheels, thus financing your opportunity to make the change. PM me.

Got it in a set of open-ended wrenches for Porsche oil lines, from Paragon... also has 32, 30 and 27mm, also useful (especially for those dayum turbo oil lines).

36mm "headset" wrench, $12 at a well stocked bicycle shop. Handy too for if you own an old threaded 1 1/8" MTB headset

It is kinda flimsy for that job, but thin enough to fit in that tight space.
