Hi,
Yes thats the bugger. It's fits front hubnuts, front subframe tower bolts and steering wheel as well.
Minispares sell them, thats where I got the size from as mine is a Whitworth socket!
Cheers,
Gavin :)

Hi,
No, that is the size of the socket, one inch and five sixteenths.

Wrong, the flywheel bolt is 1 1/2", it is the crank pulley retaining bolt that is 1 5/16". Verto is indeed 30mm.
1 1/2" socket also fits the ball joint domed nuts (on minis).

I'd buy all three, they will come in oneday and there is nothing worse than finding you need a tool 5 minutes after the shops shut on a Saturday when you'd put the weekend by to work on the car.

Every day is a school day ...........

How fast and how expensive ...... the same question...
