It's withworth... My 4-4 had'em all around. I could never figure out what
was used where. But it seems like a set of spanners for the engine, one for
the gearbox, and one for the rest of the car.
Do as i did: Buy a set of 13 mm spanners and a file.
File the spanner to a perfect fit, and wear gloves when undoing the bolts.
The spanners will eventually slip, making your hand hit the nearerst
obstacle around.
Change them to mm grade 8.8 bolts with vinyl lock nuts when you put it
together again.

It's not perfectly original, but is easier to dismantle later.

I have traced the vibration in my '71 4/4 to a very worn UJ on the diff end
of the propshaft.  Next problem is how to undo the 4 bolts.  They are not
1/2 in or 9/16 - nearer 17/16ths or 13.5mm!  Any ideas what they might be
and how I might shift them?

Any other hints/tips concerning this taskette would be very gratefully
received! thanks

Mike
