Are the rears the same as the front in respect that there is a cage which will require removing in order to get a spanner located on top ?

The fronts were a pain and i will be planning to fit locknuts when i refit

Yeah, slightly different size though.

Fronts are 16mm and rears are 18mm I think, or the other way round.

Yeh the rears are a pain In the arse, once you've got the cage off, it's a bit of a pain in the arse but you can just about get an open ended spanner In there at a funny angle

Swan neck ring spanner you want so it clears the lip.

I got a stubby spanner on the rear and used extension bar to lock spanner in place. A it of plus gas and they came off a treat
