MI springs - blowout at $99 a set! - Toyota Yaris Forums

17mm offset wrench, 6mm (8mm?) Allen wrench. Make sure you keep the allen wrench in one position (to keep from spinning the piston) and turn the offset wrench counter-clockwise. You may want to start the nut by putting the wrenches about 15-20° apart, then squeezing them like a pair of pliers. You use the same technique for removing the sway bar links.

If you remove the wiper cowl, there is a lot more room for your hands. I've left it on the last two times, but that was only after I got a pass-through socket wrench. Be careful if you do though--there's some super sharp edges hiding under there.
