Air chisel?

 

[Chrisw8]

Haven’t got air .

Just tried hammer and chisel, can only get one hit on before socket falls off other end and my back starts hurting bending over

This could be a long jobby

 

[The Mad Hat Man]

You really do need air

 

[Chrisw8]

I know. By bro mentioned it other day, said he would go halves. Maybe I should take him up on offer.

Having cuppa now while contemplating next attack.

I’ll leave it till Monday and ask bro to belt it with chisel while I hold bolt.

Got things to do at home and still haven’t fixed my Megane .... plug on blower needs changing. !! It’s up in Grannies room of course !!!

nut will split or stretch enough if you hit it center of flat ,dont try and chisel it undone so you dont need to hold the other end

I'll come smack it in couple weekends time if you can hold on and crack on elsewhere. I got mine to do too. Fcuking awkward spot isn't it

Any make?

Just had email back from YRM, socket size for A frame bolts is 1”1/8”.

So you can't physically get socket and bar on it?

 

[resto_d1]

Think your landy should be called Annie now

 

[Chrisw8]

Yeah , I got 30mm socket on bolt end. And mole grips on nut end...nut is fkd.
I’ll leave it till Monday and get bro to bash it while I hold it.

Thanks James for info & Resto for offer, I will be smashing it Monday.

1 1/8 is the size of the new bolt head. iirc the associated nut fitted sweet in 27mm spanner.

9" grinder fits inside the ears from beneath, slice through both sides, just make sure you tie it up or it will try and smack you in the face, don't ask me how I know But a reciprocating saw will work nicely and probably more safely lol

 

[The Mad Hat Man]

make sure you can turn the bolt if you decide to cut through it.
