Just wondered if anyone had the honda made spanner to undo the 40mm nut to adjust the steering rack. Steering is a bit light, and suspect it's the rack which needs tightening up. I don't have a spanner big enough to get in there - tried a pair of grips but I can't quite get enough leverage on it :(

Looks like this :

I adjusted mines a the weekend using the

IRWIN Vise-Grip 12LC 12-Inch Vise-Grip Large Jaw Locking Pliers

got nut shifted easily.

Try and borrow a 40mm open ended spanner.
Be aware not to over tighten it.
 
Looked everywhere for a 40mm open ended spanner. Seems impossible to find. I think my father has a set of vice grips like that so I'll see if that will work. If anyone in the meantime has the proper tool, please do get in touch!

Thanks
