just typing helped
just typing a question in the technical forum helped me answer the question.
would a 7/8 AF spanner be ok for doing the belts. I think the nut is 22mm, 7/8 AF is .009 of a mm bigger, so yes, I think it will do As for why not use a 22mm spanner... I don't have a spare 22mm ring spanner to cut up but may well have 7/8 AF macafee2 |

7/8" = 22.225mm If you're going to try this then make sure to shim it well. I wouldn't try it with a spanner that loose against tension.

Hi Ian, don't know if this will help or not but, I did the belts on my diesel earlier this year. After months of trying to get a spanner to fit in the gap from below, I finally gave up and removed the top engine mount (whilst supporting the engine). With a little bit of wriggling I got the ring spanner on and the belts were replaced in no time at all.
So if you haven't thought about going in from the top, give it a go before ruining your knuckles with a loose fit AF. Best of luck!!!! Jim |

now i'm confused. One table I'm looking at shows 7/8 AF is 22.22. Another graph shows 22mm is 0.866 inches, oh poo inches not millimetres. It is not 0.009 of a mm it is 0.009 of an inch. 1 inch is 25.4 times bigger then 1mm
how stupid I have been. Looks like I will have to keep my eyes open at the car boot after all for a 22mm spanner thank you gents for the help and saving me from a disaster macafee2 |

Hi Ian.
Get your self an Aviation spanner and grind the end down, it is 24mm for the tensioner pulley, to change the large belt and 22mm to change the small belt 1 2 3 4 Link to Aviation ring spanner https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Flat-Avia...AAAOSwuGxZlWpj You could even purchase a set of Aviation ring spanners they are very useful indeed https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BERGEN-7p....c100005.m1851
