Had a mare of a time last night trying to get my rear disc bolts off :'( . I thought they'd be as easy as the fronts, all they seemed to take was a bit of heat and an impact driver and they were off in jig time. The rears in comparison are ridiculous! I've first tried using heat and an impact driver and after much whacking of the driver managed to get a small bit of movement on one of them. Then used a small breaker bar and tried to tease it round and the fucker snapped. That shouldn't be too much of an issue as I've got access to a drill press and should be able to drill it out. I started on the others and with a bit of heat managed to get one of them to move a bit but the last thing I want is snap it off as well, it wasn't exactly moving freely.
Anyone got any tips for removing these buggers, at the moment my only plan is to use heat and go slowly?[/size]I've given them a soak overnight in plusgas to see if that helps but i think its the blue loctite that must be causing the issues here so don't think it will help much. Stuart[size=2px]
