Guest Carl Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 i'd use nut splitters mate, just fasten onto the nuts, then tighten the pointed bolt up & it slices right thru the nut splitting it open Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tippers Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 I know it may sound daft but try to tighten just slightly then try to unscrew it works on most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Carl Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 nah thats not a silly idea tippers, thats the way you should always do it so not to round the nut off, trouble with chris's nuts lol, is that the whole bolt turns lmao, sounds painful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted October 5, 2005 Author Share Posted October 5, 2005 Glad to see my predicament still amusess you mate. next plan is to hit it with an inpact hammer, if that fails, drill the hole out and pull it though the boot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
