Hi guys,
I own a VF Evoke 2014 sedan and am trying to change the battery. I'm getting stuck trying to remove the nut which is holding down the strap over the battery.
I've tried a 14mm socket on it which was a bit big and the nut was slipping. I couldn't fit a 13mm piece on it as it wasn't deep enough for the bolt to fit into. So I couldn't even confirm if the 13mm is the right size. The imperial socket sizes ran into the same issue with not being deep enough. The nut is screwed on really tight and there's not enough space in there to get leverage with a spanner.
It looks like I need to buy a deep socket piece such as this from bunnings: https://www.bunnings.com.au/kincrome-13mm-1-4-square-drive-deep-socket_p6110840
My question is: can anyone please confirm for me if 13mm is the correct size (as I suspect it is) before I go out and buy it?
It will just save me a lot of to and fro hassle with Bunnings if I get it wrong, as they are taking a while to process orders at the moment.
Many thanks
