So they were all pretty loose, in fact, one has gone so i'm looking for a replacement at the moment. Of the three that are still there, two are tight but one looks like the stud (I'm guessing its a stud) has worked its way loose. What's the easiest way to tighten that up again? considering the access is terrible. Thanks in advance. |

You need a special 'cranked' spanner for the job. ECAS are out of stock at the moment but you can make one yourself if you're any good with a welder. |

I took off the air filter and engine breather, and used a cut-down spanner. Easy-peasy! |

Joe get down to B&Q buy a "Torq" 10/12 ringspanner, its their own brand, stamped from flat, usual high quality tool , bend the 12mm ring end ( if you heat it on a gas ring first its easier and the chrome wont crack). Bobs yer uncle you may have to reduce the thickness of the ring end and reduce the outer diameter of the ring - thats just tickling it with a grinder or file. |

Thanks for the tips! Sean, that sounds like it would do nicely, I'll get on that right away. |
