Can’t get my nuts off!

[bugjuice]

what a thread... words such as 'nuts', 'screw', 'lube', 'crack', 'tight', 'bang', 'loose', 'fucker'...
and not one sexual inuendo. what has the world come to?

[Storm]

So what you guys are saying is, apply a sh&tload of force and it'll cure anything and everything?
I ask this because I've done that before and stripped the thread

[Wenier]

Two words, IMPACT DRIVER. Thatll have that little shit outa there in no time, but ya need an impact driver to do that of course and youll need a replacement bolt.

And wuts Inlinefour doing with my pic?

[Ixion]

Uh, it hasn't been staked has it ?

[Wenier]

Uh, it hasn't been staked has it ?

Haha now that would be funny if it has been and he's been trying to get it off this whole time.

Sorry I've been busy.
Now then.....................................aaaaaaa, hnnnggggggg......oooops too late. Anyone got a tissue?


I vote blow torch. And not just because I bet to use the word 'blow' either

put a dot punch on it and give it whack not wank this will losen the seal or rust if not heat it and then try again
or drill the middle of it and use a extracting tool after heating it

as last way nothing else will work buy a new bike and c if that one will come out sorry got the better of me

[XP@]

Can you get an angle grinder in there?
if you can, cut the ........... thing off!

then go buy a quality set of spanners / sockets, they do help.

Tack a nut onto the top with Tig then undo !

[crashe]

OK now the one thing I was taught was this:

Retighten it to then loosen it off.
By retighening it up a tad, helps to loosen the grip the nut has on it.
Then it should loosen up and you should then be able to undo it.

Otherwise, take the whole thing into the shop and let them undo it..
if they break it they have to fix it for free....lol.

Good luck in getting it off.

And I am so surprised that not one person made a comment about you not getting your nuts off.....pmls. Well done lads.

But when you do get your nuts off, can you do it without telling us... thanks in advance. ...lol.

A know of somebody once having a brass nut screwed in as a temp fix while a new oil pressure gauge was ordered.

Bad combination: Brass nut and alloy engine casing.

In the end the nut had to be drilled out and casing rethreaded.

Is it brass?

[FROSTY:Me]

if all else has failed--and most of my suggestions have been covered. Try a file and clean the thing up back to square then see what singel hex socket fits

ummm, you missed 'tool', 'penetrating' and 'vice'. Possibly 'grips' too but that might be a bit tenuous.

[DEATH_INC.]

Bring 'er down to work and I'll knock a single hex onto it and impact gun the b*****d off....

[750Y]

well what a creative bunch of replies. i never knew there were so many ways to crack it. i splashed out on some vice grips which done the trick, cheers all...
