    Thanks again as always for all replies, all varied, all good.

    It is only a very light 'nip' to tighten the die just a bit, so until I can either get a spanner printed which would be ideal, or pick up one at a boot sale etc, I'm using a very large 'King Dick' adjustable wrench, far to big, but the wrench is well made and not a sloppy adjustment, a bit of a over kill, but I'm not paying £20-00 plus for a correct spanner

    Don’t do them up so tight you need a spanner is my advice!

    I’ve a big bag of imperial spanner’s here from my late fathers garage, I’ll have a look and see what’s in there

    See if you can find a box spanner that will fit over the die completely and it will engage all 6 face's of the nut.

    Thanks, but there are only 2 faces on these rings, but with the wrench I found and it is only a 'nip', job done now.
