Thanks; that would have worked perfectly. I _did_ try making my
own wrench last night, but it broke. I think my Harry Homeowner propane
torch didn't heat the wrench enough to allow the metal to become
workable. While hammering the end over, it developed cracks, and when I
tried to use it, it snapped in half.
I got a bunch of e-mails, both on- and off-List, about
installing the shocks. Thanks, everyone!
