Evening all,
I am coming to the end of a gearbox rebuild and will shortly be securing the inner cover. A couple of the nuts were a a trick to remove due to lack of space for either a spanner or my socket.
I did see, some time ago, a thread where somebody recommended a technique/tool to tighten these little tykes but have been unable to find it again. Any ideas?
Help very much appreciated.

Andover and RGM have them. Also don't forget the good old fashioned box spanner. Slimmer than any socket.
