Strut nut socket. What size? 18 or 19mm?
These are special 12 point nuts and I can't tell for sure whether I need an 18 or 19mm without buying both online and then returning one. Anyone know from experience. I'm installing camber plates and need this to remove the old ones.

If they are the same as the E90 then I believe they are 19mm from what I can remember. I assume they would be the same but who knows.

@Pyrat 2 It's an 18, if it was a 19 I would have not been able to work on the car since thats the biggest socket in the kit I got..
Harbor Freight carries a kit with 6 of these types of sockets worked great while we did the suspension. http://m.harborfreight.com/6-pc-38-i...set-68016.html

OP,
strut top mounting bolts are 18mm and not sure if they are single-use "stretch" bolts or if you can use them - I'd buy new just to be safe. Strut brace mount bolts are external T20 torx 10mm bolts c/w collar and are single use only.
