cb67rs1 Posted October 24, 2003 Report Share Posted October 24, 2003 use PB blaster it works much better, or just cut the bolts head off and the other end and pry them out if you are gettig new ones, they are probbably rusted to the medal sleeve inside the bushings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2001SSTBanshee Posted October 29, 2003 Report Share Posted October 29, 2003 I had to cut the heads of both bolts and unmount the front of my pipes. Then I had more room to get a good hit on the bolts from the front and my pipes were out of the way in the back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2001SSTBanshee Posted October 31, 2003 Report Share Posted October 31, 2003 The bolts will spin freely, they just wont come out without force if they're rusted bad enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Duece Posted November 3, 2003 Report Share Posted November 3, 2003 a large set of vise grips or channel locks will sqeeze that bitch loose with out trashing it, but if it's already wasted just beat the shit out of it, it will come off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evil Posted November 3, 2003 Report Share Posted November 3, 2003 if at first you dont succeed, get a bigger hammer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cotton eyed Joe Posted November 3, 2003 Report Share Posted November 3, 2003 if at first you dont succeed, get a bigger hammer At my shop we have a few different grades of hammers. We have the 4 oz ballast, a 48 oz ballast, a small ball peen, and a large ball peen, then we have the Ford wrench (a 8+lb home made copper hammer) and then we have the Harley wrench (a 15lb home made brass hammer) Usually I end up using the Harley wrench on stuff thats seized or rusted up.
