Chevrolet C60s - Front Wheel "shimmy"

[hrpearce]

In my experience big spanners are too expensive for one off jobs. The easiest way to manage the nut and screw on the Chev steering box is to weld two bits of flat to a bar to make a spanner and drill a hole between the flats for screw driver access to hold the bolt steady.

Thanks Robert,

I had come to same conclusion. Then found that a Fan Clutch Hub Spanner, for the MERCEDES AT174 is 65mm and available as a special tool from Ebay for £5. I doubt the nut is massively tight on the chev, so will try one of these.
