The bolts on my sierras anti roll bar are stuck fast - i've tried soaking the bolts in good old WD40 but to know avail. Is there any way i can get it off or do i resort to the trusty angle grinder?
you mean the 15mm ones into the chassis or the ones holding it to the lower arms? Longer bar, or impact wrench
Yup its the 15mm nuts thanks for you help i'll look into it
try getting some plus gas. Its a lot more effective than WD40.
what is plus gas/where can i get it from? will it be usful throughout my build?
Blowtorch, or hot wrench as it's often called. Heat them up till they're nice and hot the put the breakers bar on them, never fails.
ah i see! well i've got a blow torch - somewhere! Thanks, will work on it tommorrow morning!
You shouldn't need to undo them --- to get the struts off.
blob of weld on the head of the bolt... warms it up nicely
