That’s great, thank you very much.
The kit I have include new washers too. Looks like I’m all set once I get a 21mm socket in.

Spacer tube - sorry i was thinking about rear trailing arms or front brake reaction bars on my Rover, very similar arrangement either way.........

I've got similar on mine, mine were First Line (nnow part of Borg&Beck) and have been on 5 years/15k miles with no problems. The roads round here are pretty atrocious, some are spot the tarmac in the potholes!

See my comments further up about the spacer tube - i was thinking of something else, sorry about that!

Socket ordered. I’ll spray some releasing oil on all the rusty bits over the next few days and hopefully get this done next weekend, weather permitting!

Excellent news. As Old Smokey is my only means of transportation, jobs that can be achieved in one day are welcome 😆
