Nitron C spanner

[pete]

Does anyone have one I could borrow?

[robin]

I think I do, but I also think it doesn't do anything useful I seem to remember using two punches that were good fits into the holes and used them as a lever.

Cheers,
Robin

I do. But as above, I've used the smooth end of drill bits in the past.

[pete]

Thanks gentlemen (cancels TWENTY FIVE QUID order in other tab).

[Ferg]

Yes, the Nitron spanner is not very robust and bends and wear very quickly. I was disappointed that it was so poor when the rest of the product seems so good. Not tried the alternatives above but noted.

[mckeann]

I have one but from memory, there isn't enough room to use I when the dampers are fitted. You could remove a bolt to slide the damper out to give you more room, but those spacers are a barsteward to refit, so I'd stick with the 2 punches method.

[pete]

Spacers? The thing is already off sitting on my bench...

[robin]

He hasn't got to the refitting part yet ...

[mckeann]

It's fine Pete, assuming you have 4 hands, a screwdriver and a hammer

[Ferg]

The spacers are all the washers that fell to the ground when you pulled the shocks out.

[Shug]

The spacers are a piece of piss on the Nitrons, versus the squeeze, swear and hammer routine to try and get the rubber bushes on the original Konis to compress enough to let them in...

This is Pete we're talking about. Oh, and Mckeann's old car. Oh, and eliseparts brackets. I cannot see any problem there.

All is well with the Nitrons.
