and bigrig is the winner. brake fluid and a 1.2m breaker bar works, just, running out of 8mm allen keys though, but it works. THANKS HEAPS. X1 case i think

I would invest in a 8mm hex socket half inch drive for next time though. As playing with patrols you are going to need it.

Three of mine where stripped, so I ended up using the angle grinder option to put a flat edge on th bolt heads, this let me be get a small cold chisel on to the head to get them moving. Once they where loosened they came undone easly.


I purchased the 8mm drive bit from Bursons.

Got replacement bolts from a bolt guy

Super home brew penetrating oil, 1000x better than WD40.
- 50% acetone
- 45% brake fuild
- 5% ATF

Do NOT get it near paint though and as with all penetrating oils, repeated application and give it time to work.
Acetone evaporates after time so only make small batches as needed.

Then BFH, if in doubt give it a clout ! if that doesn't work then get a bigger one !

Thanks mate - I'm gunna try that on the rear sway bar pins - passenger side seized up - have hit it with a commercial penetrant and some serious heat, and won't budge ...
