Campag cranks bolts, do I need a special tool?

[NeilM]

Fitted the BB to my Dave Lloyd this afternoon and then went to install the Nuovo Record cranks using the 15mm bolts supplied with the BB, and ran into a problem.

As the bolt head gets level with the outside of the crank arm, my box spanner is forced off the head of the bolt.

Do I need a special tool? Or is there some cunning technique I am missing?

Icetoolz do a thin 14/15 box spanner and pedal spanner combination. Way cheaper than the Campag peanut jobby.

Or find a 14mm bolt with the same thread which your spanners might fit?

PS I will look in the garage for some black plugs later

Halfords stock some Icetoolz items as do other bike shops.

Re:

Brilliant, thank you gents.

There is no way my local Halfords will have that, but I might be able to order one and pick it up.

Failing that SJS, who are about 20 minutes drive from my house, but who always take three days to deliver.... no, I've no idea why either.

Shaun if you can find anything in your garage, I will be mightily impressed.

Halfords might stock the XLC 15 spanner ?
