Hi Zoners?

Got myself a new hardtop the other day

just a quick one:

i know u need a 11mm spanner to tighten the bolt , but there also seems to be another round weird looking style nut/bolt with little groves on it. i know it turns, but can only go so far with hand


anyone got any ideas where i can get that tool from or something else that will work to tighten it?

cheers

The part you need is 54211972684 and is available from the stealers.
Whereabouts are you ??? Might be someone with a hardtop near you who could lend you the tool ???
