hi still waiting for the 23mm socket no one seems to have one in stock... :(
also flexi pipe not listed so will use any pipe that's the same size and shape and get metal pipe made up to match the ends seems like the best option. Imagine that's the best option for any job on the bongo have tried the nut extractors mentioned before to no avail so think I might be cutting 14mm bolt that fits through back plate drill out and fit new nut and bolt didn't realise it would be this much bother to get a bearing changed :(

hi :) all back at it now managed to remove brake pipe (well the remains) looks like flexi pipe ok all I have to do now is find some one who can press off old wheel bearing and press on new one #-o so I can refit half shaft then I can start rebuilding and fit new brake pipe etc; :D

Hi, winchman tried the local engineering comp this afternoon and they said they can't do it without destroying the back plate ? I used to use them for heads and converting old cars to unleaded etc; back in the 70s & 80s (when I used to customise cars) was surprised when they said can't do it
