Rusty bolt problem!

[walsh253]

Ok im trying to get a lower shock bolt off a van (non ford dont shoot me) which is stuck solid,ive had to cut the bolt in half and hit it with a club hammer,No joy,heated it and hit,No joy,and drilled with a hardened bit which wont touch it!

 

Any ideas without taking the whole hub etc off??

 

Cheers

de icer then heat and repeat

Wurth do 2 products i use ...........

 

Rost off ........ great for rusty bits, must be some type of spray acid as the rust bubbles away

they also do a freeze spray.

 

I had a similar experiance last week, heated it the used the freeze spray had to do it a good few times but it worked in the end

de icer turns rust into a brown sludge i used it to clean the water jacket in my crossflow and also use it on stuck bolts in the garage i work in

Soak it in coca Cola

[walsh253]

Well,this bolt is not bloody moving!! tried everything and no joy, the problem seems to be that there is no gap for anything to go between the bolt and "sleeve" to loosen the rust.

 

what to do next i dont know????????

can u get a welder on it and weld a nut on to it? the extream heat might free it done that quite a few times also will give u something to turn it by.....

[walsh253]
