topnut, you mean on the shock??? you dont have to do anything with suspension man :/

and the gearbox bolts are not hex, they are torx ones so be careful with what you do man

I meant the 17mm  on the front of the gearbox for putting the oil back in...
I said the top one as its a lot higher than the drain plug  :)

oh right :o lol

as for halfrauds toolkits, if your using the multifit ones then they are crap and yes, they are a crap fit, if you use the deep sockets they are proper hex shaped, and wont round the bolt off like the other ones :doh:
