C-spanner for headset - Bretty - 17-08-16
Hi all,
What size C-spanner do you need to adjust the head bearings?
Can you use the one in the tool kit for the rear suspension adjustment? Or will I need to order one? And if so what size do I order?
Thank you!
Brett

I'm not sure of the size but it's a lot smaller than the shock absorber c-spanner

What Joe said, I'll add don't tighten it more than a quarter turn to start with!

I bought one off ebay a good while back that you could attach a torque wrench too with an adaptor. The link that I have to the one I bought doesn't work anymore but I think it was a 43mm one. I'm not 100% sure on that. You can measure your headstock bearing to confirm it. Here's a link to a similar one

Have you got a old bicycle spanner they have a c spanner
Re: C-spanner for headset - Bretty - 30-08-16
It's all sorted now thank you! It's a ridiculously low torque on these splined nuts. Literally finger tight, then a couple of taps either way to adjust. Locking nut is not much more. I just worked through the Haynes manual and didn't need a c spanner.
Cheers!
