Spanner for front wishbone bushes

Vanbursta · 22nd March 2016, 17:05

A while ago there was a picture of a LONG spanner that had been heated and bent to shape to allow easier access to the front wishbone bush bolts - the 18mm ones, I have got a similar spanner and want to refer to the original post so I can get a rough idea of where to bend it, but I can't find it. Does anyone still have a link please, I have tried a search but my PC just goes to a blank white page which isn't ideal.

I have an extra long Britool 18mm with no modifications which I use to crack them off/tighten them, I use a little stubby spanner to wind them out/in & haven't been beaten yet

Mind you I think a lot depends on which method of removal you use

Swivel head ratchet spanner for me, works a treat.
