c spanner

Post by warby221 »

Can any one recommend a good c spanner for the suspension?

The one that came with the shock fits but fouls on the sub frame and keeps slipping off as I think Mr Shultz must have had his wheatabix that day its bloody tight the only other way I can think of is to take the shock of and loosen it then refit :cry:

It’s a full type c spanner i.e. a semi circular one

Have you moved the rear brake fluid reservoir out of the way? You can get that extra biot of angle that way. Also, when the c-spanner slips, you won't nick the pipe from the resevoir to the master cylinder. Experience is a great teacher :oops:
Two bikes, still only four cylinders!

M&P used to do a small one with a 1/2" drive hole on it
You could then get the ratchet on it
I've got an inferiority complex
But its not a very good one!
