HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO DO THIS BEFORE I GET IT RIGHT?

Right, my question. Is there any way in the world to clamp a 10mm thread without taking the whole damn thing apart yet again and puting a nut on it, then reassembling the whole thing for the 3rd time.

I've just been fitting my clutch cable to my clutch pedal. the tightness of the pedal box means that you only get 29° of spanner turn beofre you have to take the spanner off, rotate it, tune another 29°...

I hate fiddly m5 bolts. I hate nylocks. I hate having to work kneeling in the passenger side of the car, leaning on the bars of the transmission tunnel head down in the driver's footwell working at arms length with spanners held with finger tips, holding one arm above my head tightening up crappy nylocs that won't turn by hand, and I hate the bruse that is growing on my right elbow from supporting my upper body weight onto aluminium chequer plate.

And I don't have a non-stainless 10mm nut that I need to do this again and I only went to B&Q earler this evening

sh1t sounds like your night is going as good as mine!!!!!

just give me 10 minutes in a dark alley with Ron Champion and a big stick. I don't even care who's weilding the stick.

get some ratchet spanners, think thery ratchet at about 5 degrees so are perfect for fidly things like that.

No consolation , but I dont think 'Ron Champion used floor mounted pedals, neither did I 'cos I thought they would be more awkward .............

Having said that they are supposed to be better , as the pivot the same way as your foot...........

I had my head down the passenger side yesterday fitting a Megajolt box, it bloody infuriating..........

i had that problem when fitting the megasquirt to the audi, and the seat adjuster had broke which didnt help. really feel sorry for auto leccys.

He He He he. Try replacing a clutch pedal on a Zantia, cos some twat broke the cable attachment clip when fitting a new cable. . Then after they tried for three days gave up and went on holiday leaving me to pick up the pieces.

Get a 1/4 drive air ratchet and compressor

Jolly... I once took a forklift truck completely in bits. Then left the company. Gary the guy who had to put it back together never did forgive me
