that looks like the rigth idea... appearantly the normal box wrench doesn't grip enough on the nut... a little pull and already slipping off

i got mine out with 17mm offset wrench..and allen key
don't strip the nut.. it will be pain in the ass..

an offset wrench works.
Ive also had success in the past with a socket (similar to a sparkplug socket) that has the hex at the top and use a wrench on the socket and the allen through the top of the socket.

Have you ever seen the space for the strut tower? Its a pain to get a wrench in there let alone an impact "ranch"

Exactly... this is how its done, maybe get a better wrench.

Rattle gun... after I took off all the wiper motors and trim. Come straight off.

Bunch of funny names for the same tools though.

well take a extra 15min remove the black piece and the wiper motor, that's how i put my impact ranch in.

WRENCH. it's impact wrench.

Unless you're a cowboy, leave the ranch for horse's and salad.
