skinnyman9000 0 Posted April 3, 2011 Are the 4 bolts reverse threaded? Or are they just a massive ballache to get off? All 4 aren't moving at all, and 1 is in danger of rounding off Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CazzaVR 0 Posted April 3, 2011 Think they're normal thread. Get some Irwins on them ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paddy26 3 Posted April 3, 2011 Are the 4 bolts reverse threaded? Or are they just a massive ballache to get off? All 4 aren't moving at all, and 1 is in danger of rounding off They're normal thread. Use a 5 sided socket and long pull bar. If that doesn't work use the Irwins as suggested. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevef182 0 Posted April 3, 2011 Yup definitely normal thread - mine were difficult at first but some WD40 and a 17mm worked fine Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skinnyman9000 0 Posted April 3, 2011 Well these aren't moving for toffee! I'm gonna order a bolt grip socket set I think, handy to have anyway. Although I'll be spending £15 on a tool to remove a part ive sold for £20, hmmmm. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robrado974 1 Posted April 3, 2011 mine were really stuck aswell , keep spraying the wd40 , with a bar on the socket to give you more leverage the nuts will give in sooner or later . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skinnyman9000 0 Posted April 5, 2011 I've got 2 bolts off and snapped a 3rd, but the 4th won't have it. It feels like it's starting to snap like the 3rd, but it's starting to round off too. Irwin tool time? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dec 1 Posted April 5, 2011 Why not just drill the bolts out? Seen as you are breaking the car, you don't have to worry about extracting the remains of the bolts. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
