King cross over ring spanner wrench

[EastMT]

Where does a guy buy a spanner wrench for King cross over rings? All the cross over ring spanner wrenches I have found are only for Fox shocks.

I'm pretty sure kartek has them.

That was the first place I looked. I searched "spanner" on their website and all the wrenches were for fox and bilstein.

For the collars or the upper piece to add preload?

For the collars or the upper piece to add preload?

The lower collars (two rings) that the spring divider stops on.

I just knock them loose with a screw driver and spin by hand.  There is an o-ring between them, so move it into the new position before tightening the two collars or you'll pinch it and break it.

What MPC Said- The old kings dont have an O ring- there just the 2 cross overs that pinch themselves together when tightened. 

Use a screw driver or small chisel and break them loose.  Should spin pretty easily after that.

Screwdriver it is. Thanks guys!

Use a pick to scrape out any smegma on top/bottom of the ring before moving them. Takes FOREVER if there’s anything jamming up the threads.

smegma

Smegma? I keep an eye on what people are doing to my shocks and am glad to say that my shocks are smegma free, but thanks for the tip.

You may need 2 wrenches to tighten against each other. I just did the hammer screw driver trick. Also have used channel locks to loosen and tighten them. (in the notches)

I've never seen a tool specifically for those lock nuts.

If you havent seen one then I'll quit looking. Thanks for replying.
