crogthomas 0 Posted October 26, 2006 This wont help much, but the bolt on my car (1989 1.9) was 21mm. A right bugger, since its a spanner very rarely found in sets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steve@cornwall 100 Posted October 26, 2006 This wont help much, but the bolt on my car (1989 1.9) was 21mm.A right bugger, since its a spanner very rarely found in sets. at some point pug started using bolts with the addition of a torx recess in them. I use these, torx bit and a 10mm ratchet spanner makes quick work of an awkward job! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
