I've had a dig around the forum and various other places about this and to save a lot of trouble and no doubt swearing I'm going to try using a crowfoot spanner head. All I need to know for certain is the size I'd need. I'm pretty certain it's a 32mm I need but just need someone in the know to confirm so I get the correct one.

Cheers Fred and yeahhh I noticed in one of your replies explaining that it'd need slimming down as the flats on the nut are slim.
Cheers mate. Do you mean that black tube thing? Was looking at them but could only find places in the states that stock them and were £70+.
How much was the tool mate?

Is your tool something like this one? Just a shame they're so expensive really considering I'd probably only ever use it once.

Just having enough access to use one of those though. I've ordered the crowfoot spanner now anyway, I'll let you know how I get on with it.
Nice one thanks mate.
You could always sell it to me once your done with it
With added cost due to labour seeing as I'm going to have to modify it?
haha!

Maybe if you sold it on you could scrape enough money together for proper membership no?

The funds I generate from stealing then breaking your car will pay for that
Didn't realize there was much of a market for rust.
Well I never said I'd get any change from the £12 membership fee

I just used a cheap 32mm spanner and slimmed it down with an angle grinder, anyone local is more than welcome to borrow it.
The proper tool is probably a better option though as you can torque it to the correct setting when you fit a new track rod
