I read that. I am a bit lost with removing the bracket that holds the fender and bumper. it has a bolt and a rivot on it. I would appreciate it if you could tell me as well as show me how the fog lamps mount on the inside of the bumper looks like on another thread please.

TW2 that socket looks easy to make. Would have slight trouble making the opposite end for the spanner or crow foot if using a torque wrench to tighten. I made something similar for my Toyota sc12 and sc14 supercharger pulley nut from a socket. All I did was cut away what wasn't needed and filed away till it was perfect. Can you measure the inner gap/spacing for me from the one tooth to the other pls?

Didn't know its plastic. Will try and see if I can win. Thanks.
TW2 I would appreciate the details if you get time pls. I am a Diesel Mech so I can find the time to make it. Would cost me less than $10 plus shipping to my country for sure. Regarding the spring turning whilst tightening, I have experienced that on my Toyota. Had to loosen and redo the tightening sequence.

thanks TW2. Appreciate your time and editing work and measurements. Verniers are good enough for me. Don't need micrometres for this. Will get time to do this when I intend repairing a shock. As for now everything seems good
