Get yourself one of these tools and the removal of propshaft nuts will be very quick and easy.

I'm guessing it must have been pretty poor quality spanner if it snapped. I am also guessing it stretched before it snapped and this when the bolt was rounded off.

I don't know if my bolt were original but there is no way I could have fitted a tighter spanner.

9/16 is 14.2875 therefore a 14mm spanner is smaller and should be a tighter fit.

I would mind getting myself a set of Metrinch spanners as I have managed to round of a heap of LR bolts. I have never had the problem with any other vehicle I have owned like I do with my Disco so I'm putting it down ti the bolts not the tools. If its a plan standard bolt I'll replace it every time.

Happy Days.
