Need help … removing stock 1600 engine and can’t get anything to grab the 17mm nut holding engine on - the top one nearest the clutch cable lever (if that makes sense)
All sockets I have foul on the case. As does closed spanner. Open ended spanner just doesn’t seem to have enough room to grab head.
I’ve searched forum - anyone any hints or tips greatly appreciated as need to get gearbox out asap.
