Jesus - 4 pages for one nut! quick look on google reveals a box spanner is the likeliest thing to shift it. If the box spanner is too long it can easily be modified with the use of an angle grinder and a slitting disc to make it less long. Think yourself lucky it’s not a multi cylinder engine prone to stripping the threads for the exhaust studs in the hands of imbeciles - I’ve put right a 600 Thundercat and a ZX6R after they were attacked by their ham fisted owner’s trying to fit aftermarket exhausts. now 6 pages..nah not read last 2 yet but I will..I might just miss something riveting....

Final update: the user of the motorcycle decided it was all too much and gave up. Its only a second-hand used and abused old nail anyway.

You could still get 13mm and 19mm by using a 1/2 and a 3/4 af

Nuts? Bolts? Studs? Don't confuse things by bringing rivets into it as well patty

A thread of this length about fastenings and not one single mention of screws? That's a record, surely.

Had anyone taken a few moments to read and understand the first few posts in this unnecessarily protracted thread they would have discovered that the problem was the fairly common one of not being able to get anything other than an open ended spanner on the flange nuts of a relatively small flange on relatively large diameter pipe - simply because the nuts are too close to the wall of the pipe where it emerges from the flange. The various alternatives to rounding off difficult to shift nuts with ill-fitting open ended spanners were explained here : < thunderboat.boards.net/post/252570/thread > . . . . . . . . . but for some reason, known only to the posters of all the tripe that cluttered up the next four pages, was ignored for the sake of an opportunity to parade the levels of mechanical ineptitude attained by some of TB's self-appointed 'experts'.
