My question is that for opening the bolt does we need any other tool? or is it possible with the 17" spanner in the tool kit?
if it need another tool which one is suitable and how much it will cost?

Thanks...
I hope they didnt put M-Seal on it? Because that's what I heard from a mechanic when I told him that I nearly messed the threads on the engine.
What we need is a 'Torque Wrench' for easy removal of the bolt. I havent seen it on sale anywhere though.
