Hi david, yeh you need a "special" bent spanner... Buy a cheep 15mm spanner, take it to your local garage and get them to bend the ring end to around 90 degree

Seriously... Yes i am! you could just buy them if you want. When i had to take the downpipe off i ended up with the same problem, nowhere had the shape of spanner i needed so i spoke to a friend. Take it or leave it?! It only cost me £5

You can get them from halfords

Nurdge. IIRC the Halfords "blister pack of 3" that I last saw didn't have a 15mm.

They sell a bigger pack that has it. I was going to buy one but Error404 is the DP bolt master

They also do a curved ratchet set but the walls are too thick to get on the nuts.

Maybe I should mention my favourite tool merchants (no commercial affiliation):

You want an extra-extra-long Beargrip 7mm Allen key (think top mounts) and you don't want the whole set? Mail order - 48 hours maximum.
