spanners

Probably a daft question but does anyone know where to get single hex 27 mm ring spanners from.I can find no end of bi- hex spanners but not one single hex on the web or local places.
Cheers in advance

why does it have to be single hex

I want to remove upper a frame arms from chassis brackets and the bolts are pretty rusted up so a hex spanner is less likely to round them off than a bihex and it should give me better purchase on the nuts

9" grinder and fit new bushes and bolts

just use a std spanner and socket i manage with a 1 1/16 spanner, if its too tight you can always split nut with a chisel

I used stillsons and a spanner until it would not budge. Grinder was only answer. Get new bolts before you start. For some reason a 28mm spanner worked for me? Dunno if the bolts were aftermarket

When I had to remove those nuts on my vehicle, I used lots of Silkopen, a blowtorch, and a 27mm socket.

If they're giving you difficulties, it's a lot easier to take the brackets off the chassis as they're only held on with three 10mm bolts each side. Once they're off you can do whatever you like to the recalcitrant nuts and bolts on the ground or in the workshop.

yeah remove the brackets with a rotary spanner...they were not coming off with sockets - even hex or irwin bolt grips.

i found the big 24s easier to work with. - 24mm hex socket on a 3ft breaker bar and a bi hex 24 on the otherside and just raxed it up.

Well, the way I see it, if a nut and bolt won't come undone with a reasonable amount of force it's time to replace it anyway, so you night as well grind it, drill it, chisel it etc. because you're improving things for the future.
