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

21 or 22mm from memory. You'll need an offset ring spanner for it.

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.
