Get your hands on an impact gun and a socket to fit, hammer it for a while then big breaker bar, hammer it, breaker bar, it will come loose. Might struggle to jack it high enough to get the breaker bar on it, if a breaker bar isn't long enough, a hollow tube (scaffold pole) helps extend it/add mega leverage.
I didn't know all this had been going on since my last visit. :ohmy: I have found lots of heat and an impact gun nearly always does it but I see it is sorted now. Why do peeps tighten them up so much..........garages tend to be the worst offenders.
Nice metalwork there Alex.
I like it - the front always looks vulnerable IMHO. :ohmy: Please Log in or Create an account to join the conversation.

I have been saved many a time by an impact gun, the shock works a treat, I find bars can be dangerous, either shearing the bolt, rounding of all sorts of bolt heads, or breaking my knuckles, shortly followed by my temper.
Top work on the diff guard, some underbody protection is definatly on my to do list. What a bargain aswell! Shows what a little ingenuity and hard work can do.!
