What exact tools will I need to remove the suspension from a Corsa Sport?

I have read the tutorials, so know I need the drop-neck spanner etc, but what sizes exactly?

I have a set of Koni adjustables on order, should be ready for collection from work tomorrow, just need to know what tools to fit them.

Thanks

That's the bit on the turret Tom.

I'm pretty sure the big nut on the strut is 18mm, and the top of the shaft is 7mm.

You'd be best buying a set of dropneck spanners from ebay or somewhere, I got some for about £12 for 6-19mm
