I do not think there is an answer to this it will happen regardless...
Just curious how do you all wrench on red anodized parts like shocks. My set of Typhon 6S shocks caps were on so tight for the first time oil change it was a PITA to get off...have the scratches to prove it. You have a hex area on the shaft body where I had to use an adjustable wrench since the biggest wrench I had was 22mm and that still was too small. Next, I had to take pliers to the top to turn the black cap while holding the adjustable wrench tightly. I hate to see paint damage just trying to do maintenance on them....not from driving it which I could live with...pissed!
They were super tight but it just lead me to post the question to see what others do to remove parts when not trying to scratch the part/paint finish? I do see Home Depot have 10in soft pilers with soft caps that go over the teeth
Suggestions?
