Mate, I ground down a 1 1/4 AF ring/ open ended spanner [ open end, of course] , a good solid one, with a bit of length in it. Used it successfully for a while, then after ordering some stuff from Paddocks, decided to buy the LR spanner, I've gone back to the big spanner, works much better, IMO, I just put a 10 mm ringy on the small bolts to hold it , a gentle tap and it's off.

The first time I took the fan off the both holder and the spanner were essential.

UMMMMM, yeah, ok, going somewhere else now, see ya, Bob
