Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    I have posted some pictures of two nuts that I cant budge, on the inside of the toe spindal rods. They take 23mm sockets and not with a breaker bar, nor an impact gun, would they move.

    I have the new spindal rods but they came without the nuts, it's a 17mm diameter thread and I cant find nuts to match anywhere close to me, so I cant just cut them off.

    Is there any obvious way in which I can take these off that I may have missed. Any help would be much appreciated.

    I'm no expert on these (I'm sure someone will come along soon who is), but it looks like those nuts have a clip (like a circlip) holding them on at the top so they don't drift out by themselves. Have you tried removing the clips before trying to loosen the nuts?

    You need a bigger bar and/or a bigger impact gun

    Thanks for the reply.

    It's a castellated nut but no split pin through the bolt .

    I'm not sure if it's a lock nut , I have an old defender and thought I had seen every type of lock nut , maybe not.

    I have found the nuts on line and will have them Saturday so I will just the old ones off now. Part number Ryh500116 if anyone needs it.

    Thanks for the help
