Sounds about right. I know it's bigger than the E18 I'd bought to do my wife's Astra.  ;)

Hi All,
Can confirm Crankshaft bolt head is E 20


Ring spanner to adjust position of tensioner pulley before tightening is 30 mm

and it needs to be an 30mm offset ring spanner (not a socket)

(someone correct me if I'm wrong pls)
