Im looking at buying the OEM wrenches and spring holder.
Do you think i may have the same problem with them, perhaps someone wore down the edges on the nuts, or do I just have cheap ass wrenches?
THANKS
Stephen
you should be able to tell if some idiot tried to adjust them using SAE wrenchs by looking....the edges should not be rounded over
