sgnas Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 What spanner sizes do I need to get the a frame off. Both chassis an axle end. 27mm spanner is too small but the 30mm socket seems too big. Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russ3120 Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 IIRC its a 1 1/8 socket I used on the chassis end of the `A` frame and 30mm spanner on the `A` frame ball joint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgnas Posted April 16, 2009 Author Share Posted April 16, 2009 Now at work (after a morning of not getting an MOT, but suprised at why!) I've managed to borrow two 1.1/8" spanners. So, tonight I shall be mostly swearing and cursing at 20yr old nuts and bolts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 a good dose of Plusgas penetrating fluid will help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sgnas Posted April 16, 2009 Author Share Posted April 16, 2009 Well, the two arms are off. Only standard spanners and my legs used to push them! Easier than I expected. So easy that I took both off although only one bush was required for the MOT. The ball joint seems to cycle freely so I've left that on. Tomorrow they're off to a garage to be pushed out and new ones put in, and new bolts/nuts too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
