Guest suffolk04 Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 have you tried tapping the nut with a hammer? somethimes the impact shocks it and frees the nut. if that dont work looks like its the heat treatment. good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianxr3i Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 I would use the blow torch for a little bit of HOT SPANNER treatment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobMk4TwinCarb Posted June 17, 2009 Author Share Posted June 17, 2009 I tried the blowtorch and twatting it alot, just mashed the nut quite alot didn't move a mm. Got a descent garage round here to whack them on for me for £25 all tracked up. I felt a bit of a tit taking it in for something like that im sure having the car over his head helped him a bit though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest charlie74 Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 £ 25 quid was well worth it,, so dont worry about it especially as they charge £30 for just the tracking round here, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
