or fit a length of tube over the spanner. easier to hold/control...

either way, nice and tight seems to do the trick!

Well guys I gave it a shot and OMG
The brake pipe union would not come undone
Loosend both swivel pin bolts no prob
Then found swivel grease started to leak fom the bottom of the:doh: ball
Then found the brake pipe bracket was interlocked with the mud guard thingy
Put it all back together and re fitted the drag link and track arm(with new ends-getting the old ones off is another story
Fitted new damper and brake pads and called it a day
Swivel pins will wait until the whole assembly is overhauled
Thanks all for the help and advice
