Hi all
as said I'm have truoble with one of my rear hub and swing arm. Stripping them off the car yesterday, did the passanger side easy as, take out as a hole unit, strut, hub, trailing arm and swing arm, then took to bits in the garage, come to the drivers side, off as one and into the garage, got the damper off and trailing arm, but can in seperate the hub from the swing are, can I fuck! The long bolt that runs thought is stuck fast, got the nut off, but the bolt won't move, cant even unwinded it, had it in the vice, back on the car, and still
could turn the nut on a huge braker bar. Tried hammering it out on a thing, nearly a full can of wd! Now I'm guess it's been done up so tight but the old owner, that it either bend inside or so rust it's kinda welded in. About to fire up the blow torch to see if I can warm it up a d see if it moves.
If I have no luck with that anyone got any other ideas? Else I'll take it to work and cut one of them with a gas axe, swing arm or hub, best one to cut?

 

Batter the fuck out of it at both ends mate, its the initial shock that will help, then with you turning it with your breaker bar get a friend to go hammer crazy on it,

Heat it up as much as you can, but unless you have gas welding gear i doubt you will get it hot enough,

Got mine off with an impact wrench like i said, the bolt freed its self up with the shock loading the gun put on it.

Failing all of that, don't cut it, take it to some one with a hydraulic press and press the first half of the bolt through.

Best of luck mate!

Rob,

 

Cheers dude! I've knocked seven shades of shit out of it, felt good after, the bolt kinda looked a bit like my ex!lol Its only been me on my tod so far, but going to pop up to a mate garage tomorrow after work and use a air nut gun.

Hows your car going?
