Anyone with Bilsteins have problems with the allen hole in the top??
I haven't been able to fully tighten the top of my struts because all I have are allen wrenches and the closest match I could find to the hole is a 7mm allen and I can't fully tighten it without rounding the hole out. Is there some sort of special tool for the job, what did the rest of you guys use?

Thats what happened to my KYBs. Rounded it out. On my Bilsteins, I just used an impact wrench on it.

Yeah but why won't any allen wrench fit correctly, is there a special tool made specifically for strut removal and installation?
