1) What are the signs of wear on this dohnut thing, small cracks?
2) Can anyone recomend a 17mm ring spanner for the job of undoing the nuts that are recessed in the round thing that cover it, the two I have are either too shallow or too wide to get in their.
Sorry for the use of none technical words

1) yep cracks are what to look for
2) they call them 'swan neck' spanners or use a socket and ratchet

1. its called a guibo (or flex disc)
2. I used nothing more than the 17mm spanner from the toolkit in the boot.

I thought that by a mate who is a mechanical engineer said it's a weighted balance and it protects the Guibo thing. I just didnt have any spanners to get round it. You can't get a socket in on it as the bolts/nuts are resessed.
So goose neck spanners it is then
