Bonnet gas strut fixings

It's to give better under bonnet access for maintenance I believe
Its a small Heyco 10mm socket
Edit sorry just read it as spanner so probably not the part you meant , ,,,, but the picture shows the whole kit

That’s a locking wheel bolt key
Do not try to close the bonnet with the struts on the service positions, as it will not close, and excessive force will cause the back end of the bonnet to spread.
