Default So what's wrong with 18mm spanners?

Except the first set I try goes from 17mm to 19mm, so I look at my
socket set, same. Another socket set, same. The deep socket set
included with the pneumatic impact wrench, same again!

Had to use an adjustable in the end!


Didn't you have an 11/16"? If loose it may fit.

I have come across a few 18mm bolts on Japanese cars.


ISTR I have an old socket set somewhere with some AF sockets. I might
have to see if I can find it.
