Either way, Mitch will have a large assortment of tools at his disposal
Yeah the strut centre is the rebound adjuster so you need a small socket that fits inside another larger socket. Most people just rattle them on but that voids warranty.
I ended up getting one of the fitters at work to bore out a couple of cheap sockets to allow the smaller one through and clamped the larger one with multigrips. Worked well as they don't need much torque/tension applied.

Mitch and Master D your welcome to borrow them, but it sounds like you've already got it covered. I was just curious how you go about doing it.

Cheers
