hi all.
i currently have a small problem at the moment and was hoping someone might have a solutions to my dilema.
i bought a gq for it's engine (it's almost cleaned and ready to go into my truck, can't wait to have a diesel !) but i also require the final drives out of it, 4.1 ratios, the rpoblem i have is that the 6 screws that hold the free wheel hub in place are SEVERLY rusted. to the point that i can't get them off. i was wondering if anyone might have a solution to this problem
so far i've soaked them in wd40 for about two weeks, twice sprayed during the week and about 6 times on the weekends. still no movement. hit the crap out of the allen key, with approx. 8" extension bar and hammer. no movement. got the same size ring spanner as the allen key, another spanner on the end with an extension bar on the last spanner, about 16" extension all up, hung off, hit with hammer and brickies mallet, swore at it a lot, just about broke my thumb as the allen key sprung loose and everything went in the air. swore at it more. still no movemnt.
i am wondering if there may be a specialist tool out there that someone has used and could explain to me or would jury rigging an allen key to fit into the rattle gun be too much and strip the bolt head, and please dont mention the angle grinder as yes i've thought about it. but the diff needs to be in one piece for selling. i just need the shafts moved out so i can remove the final drive.
any help or ideas would be much appreciated on how to move rusted bolts, once again apart from the drill and angle grinder.....last resort.
