Hi all. I had the estate in bits and need to try and remove the bolts that are stuck from the trottle body housing x3. (before I drill them out and re-tap)
I dont have much kit as it is at dads... and I am blocking the road a bit ;D
Any ideas... tried some brute force.. haksaw blade... and a hammer... still not playing ball. ::)
-
crikey their not normally that tight but can you get any mole grips on to them to initally free them, or even bang a smaller socket over the top to get better grip
-
Drill the heads off and remove the throttle body then gets some grips on the bits of stud sticking out and wind them out.
-
yea thinking about it marks dtm is probally the way to go, good luck
-
Cheers peps... after a cuppa and a fag a used the mole grip method... worked :y :y :y :y :y :y :y
-
well done mate glad you got it sorted.

i find a cordless drill can help with spinning out studs.
Just open the chuck out over the stud, tighten the
chuck And hit reverse. Depends on access and other
Issues, i dont have mole grips,
and er ... am a bit lazy. Might help, might not. Ttfn.
