Harbor freight offset box wrench does just fine.

Thanks very much Eddie. It may seem obvious to you, but us amateurs don't have easy access to that sort of information, it doesn't show up in manuals so we end up for many days until we either encounter advice like this and "see the light" or we invent something that more or less works

We all appreciate you sharing that wisdom, it isn't easy to come by.

Nice set up, hadn't thought of that one. How are you reaching through the wrench/socket with the allen key? A socket cap wouldn't work...
The 22mm socket is being turned by the wrench (not the ratchet) and the ratchet has a long 6mm hex attached that reaches through the hole in the socket to hold the strut rod.

Sorry Mike, I still don't get it.

How is the socket attached to the wrench? The only way I know of to do that is with a socket cap. Is the wrench an offset? If a cap is used, there's no way to pass the 6mm key through it?

It's all about the type of 22mm socket used 👍

the top of the koni inserts will have an 11mm instead of an allen.

I use the offset O2 sensor socket that has the 1/2" drive on the side which leaves access to your holding tool.
