    Hi mate can you elaborate on why you needed the bend in the 18mm? I'll be doing this job next weekend that's all and any tips are welcome

    The spanner slips off with the existing bend/forged curve so I bent it back slightly about an inch further up ill find it out and take a pic for you before the weekend.
