Removing Caps from struts

[vze28h54@verizon.net (Chris)]

Personally I use a 2 foot long pipe wrench, but for those who want the 
ultimate in power (or have a short fuse when encountering stubborn parts) 
check:

Wrench"

Check out the 5 footer.  I saw a big pipe wrench in a hardware store 
yesterday, on display up way too high to be sure, but I think it was the 5 
footer.   $175.00.   Even if you didn't have a use for one, it would be 
nice to have one mounted on a plaque, like a moosehead, in the garage. 
(More animal friendly too.) If you can't loosen the cap with one of those 
you might just as well buy a new strut.
