Don't hate me, hate my car.
I've just replaced the reluctor ring (thanks all for suggesting a breaker's bar, by the way) but when I went to tighten the lower ball joint nut and bolt, one got quite tight but then continued to turn. Presumably, the thread has gone on either the nut or bolt, or both.
Looking online, I can only see whole kits (which includes the whole of the lower ball joint, but that seems unnecessary expense. So, am I being naive / thick (or both) if I ask whether I can just buy a M12 bolt and nut - it doesn't have to be from a Renault dealer or be advertised to be used on a car only? Say from any DIY shop? Cheers folks.
