Does anyone have a 32mm crows foot spanner and a scissor style ball joint seperator I could borrow please? Just doing me rear steering, and these tools are quite expensive to buy new, just for one job :( I can collect & return from the Bristol / Bath / Wells / Glastonbury area or near by!

 

Or unless someone can recommend some tool hire places around these parts ...

 

 

Cheers guvnors! :cowboy:

most crows foot socket sets i've seen only go to roughly 22mm but they cost around £20 a set worth looking into as you would also need these if replacing 02 sensors

yer ... i seen some on fleebay but they cost like 40 quid for a 32mm one, this is to torque inner tie rods up etc. Spose could just weld a socket onto an adjustable spanner or something, be alot cheaper.

Sorry buddy i dont have those tools :(

Made this a couple of weeks ago in the end:

 

 

There was a formula to calculate the difference in torque for the offset of the socket center to the jaw center.

 

I think it was "torque x (torque bar length / (torque bar length + distance to jaw center))"

 

So e.g. 78ftlbs x (430mm / (430mm + 25mm)) == 73.71ftlbs

 

But yeah £4 quid tool.
