So I was trying to install this Beatrush. But the OEM oblong shaped 14mm washer nuts won't clear with a socket when installing the rear strut bar feet. Actually it will one side at a time but once it starts threading there is not enough clearance for the second nut.
Any ideas?
I can use standard nuts however I know Mazda used these odd shaped ones to prevent them from backing off the bolt threads. Don't really want to cut the mounting feet of the strut tower bar either. I don't recall having this issue on my 96 Miata and did this in 10 minutes with hand tools last time.
