Roger answered:
Well, how 'bout the real answer? I think it's a 1 5/16". It's the same
size as
the front wheel spindle nut, so it's worth having. And, turning a
rachet
is easier than shoving the car around.




I guess that B's let you reach the crank pulley fairly easily.  Can't
do it on a Spridget.  The front crossmember passes right in front of
the pulley.  You have to hoist the engine just to get a wrench on it
:-(
