It says right above *seem to remember i'm missing it" no point in taking ages in rain to jack up very low car, then have to put it down again to go and buy socket. Then start process again

On mine, the bolts holding on the front suspension struts were 18mm, but the nuts were 17mm.

17mm on the rear. Davey his car is epically low so you do need to jack it up even if you are an African marathon runner
