    This type of spanner works if you really want to torque the nut (bearing in mind the correct orientation with a torque spanner), but i normally just do it by hand.
    And I always fit new lock nuts

  4. What is that actually called? I can see it's a derivative of a crowsfoot, but does it have any particular name?

    Thanks
     
  5. Crowsfoot ring spanner i think.
    Google Laser 7286
     
  6. Torque adapter.
     
  7. Hi Jamie, very very important to turn the eccentric Belt Tensioner Pulley ANTI CLOCKWISE to tension the belt. (It is an easy error to turn it clockwise, in which case due to the geometry, the belts end up running too close to each other)
