problem with my nuts

[philly]

for you rude minded people i mean on a pulley!


need to get the last nut off a PULLEY but its starting to round off. pliers wont do it, adjustable spanner wont do it, spanner wont do it and even the size below wont fit on or be hammered on. any suggestions?

[Adam]

What engine is it?

XE with those mega tight pulley bolts? Lol

[Jack]

Use a file to flatten some edges off so your adjustable can get a better grip?

[nova~norm]

use on of those really cheap sockets with all the pins in them!they are cheap crap but good 4 things like that!which nothing else fits.

yep the very same, bottom pulley.


its practically round now!

need to try and find a 7mm socket with the star shaped innards and try hammering it on?

[mowgli]

try warming it up a bit with a blowlamp. the bolt should stretch a bit, and the loctite should loosen then get a mole grip on it, or hammer & small cold chisel

[bump]

Weld a socket on.

[nathan.]

Just hammer a 12 sided socket on it.

[bigbened]

kick it swear at it and spit at it........ and if that doesent work, kick it some more lol.

like jack said file it and get some grips round it, and if all else fails drill it out

[Adam]

Grips will never undo that.
They are MEGA tight.

weld a 5ft bar to it, if it doesnt move then you fooked.

I always find that the right tool for the job is best - and a snap-on one is even better.
