Fridge Door + Spanner?
 
I've got an integrated fridge with a kitchen door attached.

To get the kitchen door off it I have to undo 4 nuts but the gap is
only about 4mm so I can't get a normal spanner in there.

Can anyone tell me when to get spanners that are slim all the way
along. The nuts themselves are about 10mm across?

I've tried Ebay, model shops and all the DIY sheds, to no avail.

Thanks, Ed.

What happens when you have the nuts off? do they fall down the gap and get
lost? is the door still jammed by the remaining bolt?

If you have a small grinding wheel, buy an open ended spanner to fit the
nuts and grind it thinner. ***Make sure you do not overheat the spanner,
dip it in water regularly.

Bicycle shop? Or make one out of sheet steel?

See

Try searching for bike spanner and searching Youtube for video
instructions about installing integrated appliances when the door has to
be attached.

Use a stamped spanner.
