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. |

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. -- Dave Fawthrop dave hyphenologist co uk Google Groups is IME the *worst* method of accessing usenet.
