I have a set of Martin Adjustable spanners and I think the 2"-4 3/4" wrench will work. PN 474
https://www.amazon.com/Martin-474-Ca.../dp/B000FN4MG0

I don't use them as the load on the spanner nut and metal grinding with the spring loaded is a real detractor. (Probably not an issue, its just me).
I usually have the car on jack stands. Remove the front wheels, Use a floor jack to lift the front suspension a few inches, install Motorcycle spring compressors (Small and fit the narrow shock frame tower well) Looks like these. https://www.amazon.com/Tusk-Shock-Sp...ing+compressor

Lower the floor jack and the spring is loose. If the the adjustment runs up against the spanner nut/spring seat I've used a brass punch to get the last couple turns if needed.
