Fridge Door + Spanner?

Oct 30, 2006 7 Replies

I've got an integrated fridge with a kitchen door attached.



To get the kitchen door off it I have to undo 4 nuts but the gap is only about 4mm so I can't get a normal spanner in there.



Can anyone tell me when to get spanners that are slim all the way along. The nuts themselves are about 10mm across?



I've tried Ebay, model shops and all the DIY sheds, to no avail.



Thanks, Ed.

What happens when you have the nuts off? do they fall down the gap and get lost? is the door still jammed by the remaining bolt?

If you have a small grinding wheel, buy an open ended spanner to fit the nuts and grind it thinner. ***Make sure you do not overheat the spanner, dip it in water regularly.

Bicycle shop? Or make one out of sheet steel?

Try searching for bike spanner and searching Youtube for video instructions about installing integrated appliances when the door has to be attached.
