15mm crows foot on 3/8 socket set is really helpful normally.

And if you replace starter with a better one not the piece of crap lucas m50 type it will go back in alot easier as it's smaller bodies.

I can supply starter if you want.

15mm is an odd size on anything let alone a perkins engine.

It's a flange nut for a 10mm stud

Back in the day when the stud was 3/8 which gives a you a nut of 9/16. Now you need special nuts, that's progress for you.

Designed for air / cordless drivers on assembly lines and saves the need for a separate nut and washer.

No its not, very common. standard size for a 10mm flanged nut or bolt

They can be very useful though, for nuts or bolts that are tight on clearance to get a ring spanner on you can replace with a flanged nut and bolt and use a smaller spanner. Also can do away with washers as flanged nuts and bolts come with either smooth face or locking faces.

A 3/8 Socket, extension, universal joint and ratchet will get it off.
I put a mhale starter on mine that I got off Andrew (AandR handling) highly recommended.
And as Andrew said, smaller body makes it much easier to fit.
