#1: Topmount Bolt. Author: Ste, Location: Hull -or- The World Of Info CodePosted: Sat Oct 30, 2010 9:23 am ---- 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!

#4: Re: Topmount Bolt. Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Sat Oct 30, 2010 9:44 am ---- 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?

#11: Re: Topmount Bolt. Author: sicskate, Location: Margate, KentPosted: Sat Oct 30, 2010 10:21 am ---- I used a 22mm socket clamped in mole grips.
And an Allen key throughout the socket into the shaft.
Easy peasy!
