Strut spreader bit by Metalnerd. The newer cars have a front strut that is is held at the bottom by a hefty clamp in the bearing carrier. After using your own spring compressor, this tool will spread the clamp. Don't break your good screwdrivers on this task! For Golf/Jetta/New Beetle from 1999. Handy hex base fits into wrench or socket. Turn 90 degrees and leave in place while replacing strut. Style may vary slightly due to continuous improvements. Essential for replacing front struts on Mk4 chassis vehicles. New improved design has retaining ring!
