Front strut top bolts - tool?

[javalin]

Hiya

Can somebody suggest a tool for this?  You need to hold the outer 22mm bolt whilst turning the inner hex key or vice versa.

Got the one that haynes suggest (Sealy 28 (http://www.sealey.co.uk/PLPageBuilder.asp?gotonode=ViewProduct&method=mViewProduct&productid=8383) or whatever) but it doesnt fit.

ta,

James

Mole grips and a 7mm allen key, always worked for me

ok will try that.  I also wondered about a ring spanner with a deep ring bit?  Might pop to Halfords tomorrow and look.

Blow torch, Drill, Chizle and a Hammer are the tools i used for the front strut bolts on my estate

but on the last mk3 i just grinded down a 21/22mm socket so i could hold it with a wrench and put the allen key through the top - i found it pretty hard to get a proper grip with mole grips

Spark plug socket with allen key if i remember right.
An offset ring spanner will also work.
For all you people using molegrips, bodge it merchants

22mil swan neck ring spanner and a 7mil allen key.
I used a socket allen key in my socket wrench, got them both from a local tool shop for £16 if I remember right. As soon as I asked for the swan neck spanner he asked if I was doing the suspension on a VW
