Good job!
Or a 2/3ft length of pipe on the end of the spanner?? and then pull, also there is a good bit of force needed.

I managed by putting other spanner through the loop to give more leverage, but a big spanner would have made the job loads easier.

I thought it was? that is where I saw the Long spanner trick, and it helped me no end. So if it is not STICKY "MAKE IT SO" you mods "ENGAGE"
