Use mole grips (rough I know) to turn the socket,think that's what I'd make looking at the video.
thank you so much for replying.
I don't think a deep socket would work, it might but I am not sure , I just don't want to buy a lot of different tools and them not work, but I guess that is the way forwards sometimes isn't it ?
I think I know why it is leaking, the turbo pipe on it was made by a friend of mine as original was leaking, he attached the reinforced hose we made to the remaining inches of the original metal pipe but because we put this on without removing much we could only get a bit of a turn but was tight enough but I hit a big pothole the other night and I think that has loosened the bolt.
Are flare spanners possible for doing this, do they have a thinner head than the usual spanner ? The width on regular spanner on either side is too wide to get a tight turn.
what do you think of these for the job ?
please reply when possible and thanks
