thanks for the response... I saw that when I did a google search. I tried the wrench from advanced auto (checker is the sister company) and it was the composite material. it cracked on three places when I tried to turn it. I guess the last guy to tighten it did it too tight. it appears unless i have a shop do it i will have to drop the big money at the dealer for the right tool.
