Thorin Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Hammer an appropriately sized stock in there and use a breaker bar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonathanc Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 what else could he have tried? in a non sarcastic way - i mean is there anything else left to try that he hasnt already done before something this drastic? I think this is the best method? Originally Posted by Sliced Beard View Post yes actually, it would have taken me almost no time to get that off. I have had to deal with it before though and I have learned ways around it. First zap it with an air hammer a few times to loosen up the rust/corrosion and then find the adequate size opti-torque bit, hammer it in, attach socket and a breaker bar and slowly turn. It would have come out extremely easily. I used to own an automotive repair business until a recent injury Tis what I do for a living Meh Thorin beat me to it... I'm a total nub when it comes things like this but I won't even think of doing that lol. I will prolly soak it in WD40 or something for a day then try the hammer method or Google.

Jake Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 I had to do something like that to get the osf disk off my M3 when I was fitting the AP Racing BBK. The allen hex recessed alloy screw that secures the disk to the hub was rounded off, tried drilling a hole in it and then using an EZ-Out but managed to snap that off in the hole I'd drilled. Ended up cutting the disk off with a angle grinder. I felt a right cowboy taking an angle grinder to my nice car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nevins Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 most drastic thing ever, Iv got a stubborn one off before and i thought that was extreme. All I did was weld a old socket on and use a breaker bar and job done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanBEXsupra Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 could get an impact socket that is only just too small, take a piece of wood lay it over the back of the impact socket, and hammer the socket onto the outside of the bolts head, then use an air gun to try and get it off that way, as its wedged inside the socket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephendjb Posted November 26, 2009 Author Share Posted November 26, 2009 I thought internet car forums were to ask questions to avoid stupidity like that rather than to post up "Look how stupid I've been everyone" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
