Jellybean Posted December 6, 2014 Author Share Posted December 6, 2014 Thanks! Any recommendations on a breaker bar to remove them , she will be in an axel stand on the deck so not ideal http://www.halfords.ie/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/SearchCmdMobile?srch=breaker+&action=search&storeId=11101&catalogId=15551&langId=-1&mode=search Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coleboy Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 They are not tight, a normal rachet or spanner will remove them without much effort............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monsween Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Windy gun FTW and they should be ok with a normal 1/2" ratchet but more than likely a small 12" breaker bar will do the job. Don't put them back on with the breaker bar, ratchet tight tight is fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooter Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Shouldn't the 17mm ones be tight/very tight....not sure about copper slip on them either, be more inclined to have a tiny bit of thread lock if anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris88 Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Tighten the bolts using a torque wrench after cleaning the threads and spraying with WD40 (or similar). If you use a high pressure lubricant like copperslip or MSO2 then reduce the torque figures to 80%. - - - Updated - - - Tighten the bolts using a torque wrench after cleaning the threads and spraying with WD40 (or similar).
