Rear disc bolts
#13
My usual technique is to warm the wheel over a low flame on the gas hob for half an hour, the difference in thermal expansion coefficients of the different metals means the bolts are much easier to undo. On the rear this failed for a couple of the bolts... either the threadlock had gathered strength over the 14 years since assembly or they'd ran out and used No-More-Nails. :lol
I ended up welding a length of scrap metal to the head of the bolt, the extra leverage combined with the very high temperature cooking the threadlock compound did the trick.
