If I remember it's a 10mm bolt (that or 13, but I think it's a 10!)

I do recall it is a pain to undo and I believe I used a 1/4" drive socket on the end of an extension bar and inserted it in the gap between the wing and the door whilst holding the door open. Some jiggling of the socket and the door is required, but it eventually will go over the bolt.

10mm socket on 3/8 brive wobble bar is the best bet. Wobble bar extensions allow the socket to offset a little and make this one a doddle to do.

I need a wobble bar. I've got a UV joint but that 's no good. If I grind an extension bars square end I can make one sm19
