For the rear bolts/nuts I use a Sidchrome 7/16" short ring/OE spanner, with the ring end severely thinned down on the grinder.
On the front bolts you can use a 3/8 square drive socket and ratchet.
Wheel off is better.

I took my hinges off a few months ago, all i used was a ring spanner from memory. No fancy schmancy tools, was pretty straight forward. Shard |
