Wantaglanz Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 yeah, if he heats them up with oxyacetylene or sometime, dont think there are many other options tbh lol heat the housing for the bolt so it expands and then the bolt should come out easier Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DavidAshton Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Find a new garage if they cant get a bolt off themselves. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Carl. Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 tell me about it, thats not a serious problem, if i had a mechanic ring me and say he cant do a job because of that ide be gone.im miles from a mechanic and i had the same problem, but even I managed to get them offi second that. they are a bastard to get off if theyve never been off before.. granted. but a garage should have no problem all they need i the right tools (which they should have.. being a garage duhh lol) and a bit of patience... maybe a few swear words. i had to run about in my dads car to a few hardware stores to find a good offset spanner, that i then bent to the perfect shape to fit the front of the engine bay so i could get a pipe on it. and even with a pipe on it i had to reallllly swing on it to crack them off but as i said, a garage should have no problem what so ever with all the specialised tools theyve got.

durmz Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 with the proper socket and wobble bars, it really shouldnt be a problem, ide be bloody worried if a garage rung me with a problem like that lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yaristurbo Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 cant belive that id never ring a customer and tell them that, oxyacetylene and some patention is all thats needed and some wd-40 lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JackStar Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 They need to swear at it more, that always works at my place. but heating it up should do the trick, or releasing spary of some sort and a single hex socket/spanner.Jack Quote Link to post Share on other sites
