Default THE BOLT SAGA

This is my life this weekend. Either I or the pinch bolt will meet its end before Monday.





And the beast itself:



The time of reckoning is nigh. Both of us won't survive the night.

BAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA, you are still getting owed by the bolt. I don't know exactly how but cant you cut the bolt between the pinch areas to releas some preasure. also the aluminum will expand rapidly compared to the steel bolt if heated with a propain torch and may help you loosen in, just be carfull that **** gets hot fast and will burn the crap out of you. Good luck man.


Oh yea, Red owns

The torch thing might work -- but notice the rubber boots on the control arms... If you have a couple of those standing by, suuure give it a whirl. Looks like one is splitting anyways!

My PB blaster can is empty and defeated.

Propane torch, ultra drill, carbide bid, and my steely determination and bulging muscle mass are my only weapons against the bolt.

headshok, I'm replacing the upper control arms with adjustable ones. That is why i could give a **** whether the boots split, burn, or whatever. I was seriously considering using a Sawzall to cut through the arms to get the knuckle out.
