no chance of drilling bolt out?

[gtlegacy]

nah hes tried doing that and broke the drill he doesnt wana spend any $$$$ so it makes it kind of hard to get it

[Guest]

s*** that must be Clifford's one? i saw that the other day

i can get it off

[spark_38]

with big guns?

[Guest]

with my number tool... angle grinder

[gtlegacy]

yes its a dark blue one with ablown motor im pretty sure thats the 1 you mean been on trademe for $1 wrecking any help would be greatly appreciated just be careful as apprently its pretty hard to get access to the head of the bolt im told maybe weld onto the end of it nice and hold should loosen her up thats all we do at work

[Guest]

just cut the bolt off it whats so hard about that?

[gtlegacy]

because he wants to use the subframe for his car and doesnt want to damage the subframe and i dnt want my brace damaged and the head of the bolt is surrounded by the diff brace so its hard to even get visegrips onto it that y i thought welding and getting some heat into it and build it up would work so you can get visegrips onto it and also the heat will get it out

[Guest]

ok

[gtlegacy]

yah so can anybody help me on this?

[Bazza-NZ]

Only thing that i can recommend is that our try using a 6 sided socket and a shit load of CRC / Nut cracker etc and see if that makes a difference otherwise yeah you'll be pretty stuck.

[BLAZD]

lol ill try get it off next time im at his house

[boon]

Feral option... get a socket that you don't love that's 1mm too small then smash it on with a hammer. Like, real good. Then attach socket wrench and undo.

Also soak the thread in CRC.

[Guest]

cut the bolt off!!!! EASY!!!

[gtlegacy]

XECUTA your not getting it thanks for the input but i cannot cut the bolt off because of 1 they wouldnt be able to get anything in close enough to do it and not damage the diff brace subframe or both and 2 he needs the subframe so a bolt stuck in it is no good

thanks everyone else for the input

bazza and boon they both sound like ideas worth giving a go

can anybody who lives close by be able to have a look at it for me and see if they can get it off willing to pay for your time if you cn do it

[gtlegacy]

Big thanks to the wellington clubsub crew for helping me thank you so much
