Yeah fortunately that one's never been fitted to my car - it's one from the collection that my mechanic had. Guess he didn't notice - he's usually pretty careful.


It was educational watching the guy in the tyre place getting the top one off - long period of machine-gunning with the air wrench thingy, then hammered a socket (I assume a slightly smaller Imperial one or something) onto it, then the breaker bar, and it came off eventually
