Oz, a picture paints a thousand words!  Thanks.

Dave, thank you for the warning!  I kind of had the idea of what you were doing with the bar, but was having a thick moment!

I didn't get to have the car MoT'd on Friday, perhaps this week, but I really hope it passes - I'd rather do the work later on when I've got to service the car anyway!

Cheers all!

Graham

Might have to make one myself.

But for the true Haynes experience, i'll use Rusty angle iron thats been in the sea for a while and some seized bolts.:D

Oz, spent my lunch hour making this.  I've drilled the holes to 10mm but I'm not sure this is big enough!

Without taking a wheel off and trying it (lazy I know!), what size are your holes? :shock:  ooh err missus!

:D 

My holes are 12mm, not to tight, but not like chucking a sausage up a close.  10mm should be fine, I think the studs are about 9.5mm.

It's a hand tool to have.

Graham, studs are 3/8 inch. 10mm is nearest metric eqivalent and is approx 0.5mm larger.
