I have just had new hinges fitted however the top drivers side one has come lose
now i understand how this could happen as the bolts behind at the top under the wheel arch are a biatch

so should i attempt to tighten it up myself or take it back

i would rather do myself then driving all the way there and waiting for it etc

so what to use and how to
im sure you guys must know some tricks
wheel on or off
special tool??

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.

also i am assuming i close the door when tightening

Not hard at all, really.
Yes I'd close the door.

thanks very much i will try
fingers crossed

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

just take the wheel off and stick your head right up there if you can and go for it

its not a real fun job

A short flexidrive works real good too...
