How do I get seized bolts out?

<< < (2/3) > >>

MartyC:
Get the right sized allen key from a drill bit set i.e. a straight allen key, put it in the bolt and give the allen key a whack with a hammer - be careful not to clout your cranks though.  This should break the "weld" between the bolt threads and the axle threads. then using a normal cranked allen key (with a 90 degree bend) undo said bolt  :daumenhoch:.

oberonspacefruit:
Plus gas is a dismantling spray, sold at motor shops, penetrates over time, especially if continually applyed over a few days.

In my opinion it works better than wd40.

steve Beech TA:

to look at it plus gas is simaler to wd40 but it does work better :daumenhoch:

losidan:
ta chaps

perry:
id go with martyc . plus soaking it in diesel ( but at the moment id guess the plug gas would be cheaper  :-\ )

but dont lose your rag with it , there will be a way to get them off no matter what ( so dont go mental and start swinging the hammer  ;D )
