No problem mate.

The bar i have really flexes when i put the 90 on the main bolt. Looking for a good bar to replace it preferable 1'2 inch drive.

There are different versions of the bolt, this explains it...



For removing them it's easiest with an impact gun or by hand ideally a 3/4" 1m breaker bar as they are tight as hell especially when corroded up.
For installing them I use the larger of the Halfords 1/2" torque wrenches followed by the breaker bar for the 180deg.
