How do you calculate spanner size for nut?
How to calculate spanner size regarding bolts and nuts
Why you use the long spanner to open the rusted nut bolt?
you use a spanner to open a rusted nut bolt because you need a strong tool to open a rusted nut bolt.
Why do we use a spanner not our fingers to unscrew a nut?
Because a spanner provides extra leverage - and is much tougher than our fingers !
Why is it easier to loosen a tight nut using a long spanner?
because spanner has a longer moment arm and torque depends upon moment arm greater the moment greater will be the torque produced so it is easy to unscrew a tight nut using longer spanner
Why a mechanic would choose a long spanner to undo a tight nut?
The mechanic would get more leverage. The rotational force applied to the nut is greater the longer the spanner, assuming the mechanic applies the same amount of force.

Why is it easy tight a nut using a spanner of long arm than of a short arm spanner?
A long-arm spanner provides greater leverage, making it easier to apply more force to the nut with less effort. This increased leverage allows the user to generate more torque, which makes it easier to tighten the nut effectively. Conversely, a short-arm spanner provides less leverage, requiring more effort to generate the same amount of torque.

Why does a long spanner make it easier to loosen a stuck nut than a short spanner?
This answer is based on simple mechanics. A spanner is a tool which you use to apply a twisting force on a nut. This twisting force is called a Moment. The equation for a moment: moment = force x distance of application As the force given by your arms will not increase just by using a bigger spanner, the size of the moment is directly related to the distance away from the nut the force is applied. So with a short spanner, say 30cm (0.3 metres) long and a typical force from your arm of about 100N (about 10kg) the moment will be: Moment = 100 x 0.3 = 30 Nm Now if a bigger spanner is used, say 50 cm (0.5 metres) long the moment is: Moment = 100 x 0.5 = 50 Nm So you can see if you use a bigger spanner, you are putting a larger twisting force upon the nut, so it it easier to loosen.
How do you tighten the chain on a 1987 Honda trx 250x quad?
on the rear axle housing, sprocket side, there should be a large spanner nut. Loosen the two bolts that tighten the rear axle in the housing and turn that spanner nut. Not sure which direction, you should be able to figure that out.
