Default B4 - Having trouble with silver ball ends!

Hi

Just building a B4, having real trouble with the included tools, especially with the silver ball ends into the front up right, the tool provided has just rounded off!. Looking for recomendations re tools that would fit/cheap etc to help the build.

Thank you

The ball studs need a 3/16" nut driver.

AE plastic tools are only good for building the car at best, wear out before you can take it apart!

I have AE factory team nut driver for the job, works well - #1562



PS the other nut drivers you need for the car are the 1/4" (which is for the oversized nuts on the front shock tower, the slipper nut, and the plastic front wheel nuts, if you have them), and 11/32" (for the rear wheel nuts). They don't get as much use in the build as the 3/16" but they are well worth purchasing.
