Wiper motor cover nuts - size

Post by MsRose »

I’m currently trying to disconnect my wiper motor (1957) and cannot find anything small enough to undo the cover bolts on the wiper motor.

Could anyone assist with size please?

4 BA is the spanner required or a small adjustable.

As Phil says....(I happen to have the contents of the engine bay in the house!)

A set of BA spanners and (deep) BA sockets is definitely part of the enthusiast's toolkit. BA used in electrical stuff (fuel pump etc), Carburettor, hockey sticks, locks etc.

Thank you both. Adjustable came in handy.
