you can use this gasket stuff its like a fine metal paste, you put it on the ring spanner and it grips, it works really well, or if not then weld it.

a bit rangi, but it works.
get either 1/2 mm smaller or slightly smaller imperial 6 point socket and drive it on with hammer.
I've been a bad bad boy. I should read the rules and behave before I get spanked by an admin

f#@k you i won't do what ya tell me
