Review on πŸ”§ OTC 6613 Adjustable Pin Spanner Wrench by Albert Lee

Revainrating 5 out of 5

This will NOT work for BMW E30 A-pillars

BMW uses a four hole nut to attach the A-pillar cartridge to the strut body. I foolishly thought removing that nut would work. The pins fit but the tool isn't strong enough to handle the torque and just twists and turns and makes a mess. The right tool is a 4 pin socket (or just use a pipe wrench with sharp teeth and some heat). Still, it's a good tool and I'm happy when I need it. Just throw that away for anyone who wants to make an E30 A-pillar with it.

Pros
  • This is great
Cons
  • Socket required
