Fekked driveshaft bolt?..and various other questions....

[nightroamer]

Guys I'm sure this has been asked befored, I've had a search.

Some previous *lovely* person has rounded a driveshaft bolt on my project car.

Tried the usual hammer and chisel to no avail, any ideas how I can get it out?

I have NO power in my garage also

Have you tried getting a pair of mole grips on it has workec for me before

[Mr Blue]

I tightened the rest then smacked another sized torx bit in there. That got it out!

I know you have no power in the garage but another way is to dremel the sides of the bolt flat and use a spanner to twist it out.

[Diamond Hell]

Molegrips, or a slightly different sized bit smashed in there should sort it.

You can hammer a socket over the outside of them, should come off no problem and you can tighten them back up using the same method. Top tip is put a load of extension bars together and undo/tighten from inside the wheel arch, makes it much easier...

 they come in 2 sets, on set you get the box. they also do a big f**k*r set which ive got but rarely used.

it still amazes me at what they will grip and undo, worth £20 all day long

I second that, I have got a snap-on set of these and they are brilliant, they can really get you out of trouble!

I used to break bolts fairly regular (i used to be a hamfisted loonatic) bought a set of these along with some patience that was on special offer & never ever had to use em pmsl... but they are there.. just in case....
