it is shaped to fit other vehicles, not just for a transit is it

Mines a 30mm on one end and a 32mm on the other, never found one it wont fit yet :D The shape is cos on some vehicles space is very limited to get a straight spanner in.

The spanner in the pic has a slight offset. Logical.

I've already made up a peg spanner for the 6mm bolt holes
Mine is merely 2 straight pieces rather than this type

32mm, that's a cycle headset size if I'm not mistaken. Got one somewhere, but it may be too short if that center nut is dead tight. We'll see. :wink:

Just had mine off snapped one bolt off with the spanner tip so resorted to tightening the fan belt over tight and a good whack of the spanner and away she span

All i did was jam a tyre lever between the pully and the crank.

And for people who think they are hard to get off i just had one fall off going down the road :shock: :shock:
