Easy cure: Go to Halfords and buy a Spanner that fits. Preferabley Ring-End.

Won't get anywhere with shitty adjustables.

Or just use the wheel brace in your tool kit. Adjustable spanners suck.

Just use a Ring End Spanner and something to grip the square nut. Molegrips or an Adjustable will work for that. It really isn't that hard to lower the back of a Corsa!
