Siezed rear arm adjuster bolts

Featured Replies

Hi all. Had. Y tires changed the other day and was told my rear adjusters were siezed. Has anyone had any luck freeing them off with an impact gun or long breaker bar?? And where can i buy just the bolts from if i need them??

Just bang them off with extreme prejudice. Use the usual prep (penetrene for a week before, etc).  Get a rattle gun with a 6 point socket on there.  After the nut comes off, belt them out

 

Genuine parts aren't overpriced for these items

I have found that one of the best penetrating oils you can get is, believe it or not, diesel! I know a few who swear by it.

I used to make a mix of 1:1 WD40 (which dries out after a week) and transmission fluid.  That worked well.

 

Diesel would be good - not sure what it would do to the rubber bushes (long term)
