I've been beaten by the back box


Recommended Posts

Hi all, what's the best advice anybody can offer for undoing the bolts that hold the back box on? I've soaked it in a lifetime supply of WD-40, I've knocked it about a bit to release any loose dirt/rust and I cannot for the life of me undo those bloomin' bolts.

Should I just get the angle grinder out or is there a secret to undoing the bolts?

either heat them up, or if not get some proper penetrating oil like plus gas and spray it on a few hours before

Thank you ams, I didn't think of getting the blow torch out.

I've just picked my daughter up from nursery so probably won't get a chance now until Sunday. I'll give lots of heat a go and try and break the seal on the nuts. If not I might try drilling them out as I've got a fresh set of nuts ready and waiting.

plusgas is like magic - really worth buying a can

Would your recommend the aerosol or the bottle? It would probably be worth investing in some anyway as I have a gearbox to remove next month :angry:
