the one at the bottom of the coil? I was told that it was a metric size, but a 1 1/8 would work just as well...

I use a 1 1/8th wrench and fish it through the coil spring. Then hook a wrench on the end of that. Needs a lot of torque to spin it.

You used a socket and ratchet? How'd you do it, by fishing it through the spring? I just used a wrench and hooked another wrench on the end.
