Ay Dear...

Evening,

I've started the process of replacing my rear passenger side shock absorber and what a pain in the arse it is! What I thought was going to be nothing more than a 10 minute job has turned into a two day spectacular. The bloody nuts are rusted on! My Dad's given us a hand sawing through the bottom nut with a blunt coping saw, but it still wont budge. I've managed to get my hands on an old grindiner from my grandad so things will take place tomorrow

I also found a wire brush drill attachment which i thought would work well on my chassis to clean it up ready for waxoyl. Is that a good idea?

please tell me i'm mistaken


The Coping Saw

The good news is you should always replace dampers as a pair not just the one side

COPING SAW!!!!!!! I read that as well so both of us can't have bin mistook. Get thissen a decent blow lamp an get a bit of heat on it. Careful you don't set the rubber bushes alight though or the universe will turn inside out or summat.

i berleive yer can do it with a bread knife as well

yella reckons some emery paper might work

might be quicker than a coping saw

fook hang on we're takin the **** and we don't even know if he has wooden bolts or not

if they are wooden just dry them out like what mr grunt says and they should undo easily

aint they called wedges

well i've got sum metal cutting blades fer my coping saw. (nevva tried em tho)

or hit em with a mallet

yer could always whittle em wih an axe

naw you get some with big fook off square freds, bit like them " my furst workshop" nuts and bolts but only wooden rather than plastic

i seen a bloke mekkin little statues out o bits o dowel with an axe once

you could replace them with plastic ones then they'd come out real easy next time

hey thers an idea, why not mek some little statues out o the wooden bolts and leave in
