Anyone know the size of it? The one that holds the topmount onto the shock?
Is it a 21mm - I've looked on Service Box and cant find the size - well it's not listed just the item number
Thanks!

22mm mate, you'll need a deep offset spanner.

I found getting hold of such a spanner quite difficult. Halfords do one that will just about reach deep enough.

Is that the Halfords Professional Ring Spanner 22x24mm?

You can go to any plumbing or engineering shop and grab a hold of a 22mm deep offset spanner very easily!

I used a 22mm socket clamped in mole grips.
And an Allen key throughout the socket into the shaft.
Easy peasy!

Getting it off isn't the problem. It's making it tight when reassembling it.
