Doubt it's that, they are fecking tight. I literally lifted the car off the axle stand undoing it.

Needs to be a 90 degree, not at all bent, bar and it will slowly loosen.

If it's THAT bad just angle grind the showing threads.

Had two of us under a breaker bar to get my rear strut bolts out, one person stood on the drum.

Some bolts are harder than others... Especially once they've rusted stuck.

You tried to undo the nut when the car was on stands?
You're a braver man than me  :grin:

Bit difficult not to when you only have three wheels on the car.

It was fine, people just need to grow a pair, that's all. What's the worse that can happen? A car about to be scrapped falling on it's brake disc/chassis.

OMFG.

Feel free to go back in time and bring me a 14" or bigger 57.1mm 4x100 wheel then.  :grin:

was feeling kind so when takeing my new time machene for a spin  i went back in time to fetch your wheel,  i even managed to find it  but then i thought, f**k it and weighed the wheel in and bought lottery tickets with the proceeds.

soz but that idea just seemed so much better
