If you don't have a socket that fits just bash it off with a cold chisel and don't worry about doing it back up properly - that seems to be what every previous owner of my various Minis has done.

Fixed for ya, some Imperially challenged folks may have thought it was 15/16" (I've seen it happen).

A 33mm (even 34mm) also fits OK, better than using a *^%&( chisel and a BFH... :lol:
