Seized caliper bolt desperation

<< < (3/6) > >>

Range Rover Blues:
Loads of WD40

I took an impact socket and hammered it onto the bolt.

BTW, if you undo the other bolt and hit the callper it will move a tiny amount, this will help break the rust out of the stuck bolt.

In the past I have cut the disk off the hub in order to get to that bolt.

Range Rover Blues:
Oh here's a though. grind some flats ontot he bolts head, the heat caused by grinding will do you no harm either :wink:

doris:
Thanks All

Am just waiting for the rain to stop as forecast and am going out to attack the bolt.  Wish I didn't have this hangover though!

Will let you know the results/ or not.

peasey:
can you get any stilsons on it?loads of penatration oil on it and some firm whacks with the universal adjuster (mallet) might help and if you can get some stilsons on they will shift most things ,be careful you dont snap the head off!!!!

martyn:
