Anyone know the trick to undo the nearside level plug on the swivel housing? On the offside it is raised out a bit so an spanner can go on, not on the nearside!

Cheers

Use a socket......yes I know it is a square, but an appropriate socket used carefully not to round the corners should do it.

The threads on my 110 are BSP, I expect they all are.
I swopped mine out for cap head plugs (Allen key).
Just an option..

What an effing place!!! Has it been snapped or reduced at some point?
I agree a socket and then replace with an Allen bolt for future ease.

No idea but it’s definitely square, and in the rave manual they only picture the easy side!

That's the "look at what you could have won" illustration... Plenty of plus gas on that bastªrd, if it snaps In there, it's drilling time!!!
Try both a metric and imperial socket before committing to the pinch.

Just a thought as I don't remember the sizes, is it possible to use a 1/4" socket extension bar on it so you have a square hole going onto the square of the plug? and then use a spanner on the end of that to turn it?

use 2 13mm sockets with the correct square fit on plug and take a 13mm bolt spin a few nuts on it and use to connect sockets together you then have square drive at each end...should work...
