Hi everyone,
Not a new problem I know, but I've got 3 of the long bolts solidly seized. I've given them a good soaking with WD40 and got the blowlamp on them but they still refuse to budge! And I've managed to slightly round off one of them in the process! :evil: :evil: :evil:
I'm off to get some pukka penetrating oil, but does anyone have any other tips? I could get a bit better access to the heads if the nose of the pump were off - does this come straight off the shaft with a puller?
Assuming I end up shearing them, what're people's views on removal?
