Thanks for the advice but I wanted the size of the bit not the touque figures
it aint a fifty as this is the rear wheel size and the rear frame one is a lot bigger. Anyway need some so will be visiting Hailfrauds in a minute so hope all will be well.
Many thanks.

Many thanks, found out now that bolt looked so big thought it must be a sixty so borrowed one from my mates shop and the truth dawned. He aint got the right sizes in stock and what he has got are all half inch drive even small sizes so big and clunky. So have ordered a set of 3/8 drive so all should be well halfrauds only had 1/2 inch m" they don't make them" so asked where the ones in my tool box came from. Waste of time, still all is resolved, I hope.
