The problem is CB that they make the head 3mm thick? Same as the old diff filler nuts, we used to weld a 5/8 whitworth nut on em, makes it so easy to remove, I have all 1/2 drive sockets, breaker bars etc, but I am limited physically and with just how high I can lift the car!
I got a 5/8 hex head socket on it and short breaker bar, but th cat and the rubber hangar is in the way, so if I buy a 5/8 ring spanner I should be right, but being as crippled up as I am with my hands an spine, it's not impossible for me but takes a lot longer, imagine facing your car, bonnet up and you have to use your left hand to get into a tight spot, well I have to turn my back to the car and use my right hand behind my back to get to it!
But I manage, just takes 3 times longer!
