Magnetic pickup tool useful for getting nuts back on.

Apparently!

Ratchet spanners

Useful

Don't forget to use new heat shields under the injectors.

Apparently!

Just been told by Russel at Syncro-Nutz... so there ya go.

OH, and test them first across a battery with jump leads, had a set of 4 from Peugeot once, 3 of them duff from new. Don't burn ya fingers!!

if you have to take more off that you actually want to swap you must be looking at it the wrong way! if you have a spanner (i forget the size) bent at the correct angle you can reach and get out all the plugs with out having to remove anything other than the bus bar!! nice one!!

I don't understand. Straight spanner at dusk, half an hour, two skint knuckles, one lost nut recovered with a magnet on a screwdriver, lots of swearing and cursing.

I didn't remove anything except the busbar and the plugs (oh and the aformentioned knuckle skin

). The pulgs will come out in that gap, everything else is down to how you grip it.
