Is there a tool for holding this pin whilst the nyloc nut is tightened
please? Where from (nr Manchester - UK)

Are they readily available and does the nut have to be tightened with
the sub frame out of the car?

1 1/16" centres - c.4mm x 2 pins I think

I held the old ones with a pair of stilsons (?) when taking them out
but I'd rather not butcher them putting the new ones back in.

Thanks

Peter

the one used to undo the center nut ????

Thanks Jacko. I thought of that but I couldn't get it 'in' because of
the body.

In the end I used a pair of circlip pliers to hold the pin until the
taper 'bit'

Thanks for the suggestion.
