Strut Inserts or Replace Strut 700 1989

Yes, a water pump, really big pipe wrench, or chain wrench.

I'll give a really big pipe wrench a whirl next time.

I use what was always called a water pump wrench. What you use as a counter hold when removing or tightening the water pump pulley from the water pump.

That tool from iPd or any tool shop can be a cause of many bad words.

You can find the Volvo tool for grasping onto the gland nut, yet they usually fit Boge gland nuts, and not other manufacturers.

I also have a very large channel lock pliers that can sometimes work to break the gland nut loose as well as torque the gland nut down.

Chain Wrench




Hope that helps.
