R500K Roller Barrels - access to undo supports? And refit procedure?

[anthony1956]

anyone have any tips how to get at these and with what? 

Every time I have looked over the years I have been filled with a certain dread if I ever have to get at these to remove them. 

Also any tips when replacing with new very welcome.

I just use a very long 1/4” drive extension with 8mm socket and ratchet. Never given a problem.

I'm struggling to picture them on RBTBs but if access is anything like it is on a VVC it makes it a bit easier if the extension has a "wobble" type end that lets you get the socket square onto the fasteners even if the extension bar has to be angles a bit.

Thanks both. Are there any instructions for the fitting such as torque settings and any tightening sequence? Thankfully I find I have on my shelf a new gasket marked from DVA. Happy days :-)

I since took some pics where access from underneath with said long extension looks like the way indeed:
