Undoing the Big Nut on the end of the rear drive shaft on a cossie
I brought a spare beam to strip on paint up and also poly bush for the cossie And i got the drive shafts with it 1 still bolted in place
So i clamped the drive shaft in the vice and tried to undo the nut well after 10 mins i gave up
Then 5mins later after a cup of Coffee i started again but with the Angle Grinder

And i think i got abit Carried away tho
And also f!!ked the end of the drive shaft
Never mind they were FREE with the beam anyway

be a coont if it was a left handed thread
sorry ya just reminded me the way a mate took off his antiroll bar on his xr3i, one nut was seized so he cut it off and bought a new one then he couldt get the nuit to do up, even with a breaker bar
i never laughed soo much sine tht time i told him it was a left handed thread

is ti a left handed thread on em
heres a hint for people when working on siezed things that dont budge, tighten it up to crack the seized type seal ( it deffo works, not talking crap honest) and then re-attempt it
then when ya working in some situations ya discover that ocasionally ya get a left handed thread
see i act smug but i have no real paitence wheh i actually get things stuck and always round the nuts off and then i have to bell Cowboi to get em off for me ( hes the tits at fooked rounded and snapped bolts ect, he as a 100% success rate all all that ive given him , he always sorts in in under 5 mins too
