sonofsam 5 Posted January 20, 2006 Get youself a set of Vernier calipers,makes measuring stuff alot easier,they only cost about £15 No what you mean.that big bolt is an arse to get to and usually rock solid...if in doubt,give it a clout Sam. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anthony 1,003 Posted January 20, 2006 21 or 22mm from memory. You'll need an offset ring spanner for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big_Jimbob 0 Posted January 20, 2006 Im pretty sure its 21mm, I managed mine with a large adjustable (because it was a sunday and i didnt have a 21mm!!! lol) a normal 21mm open ended spanner would fit though im sure. jim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
