Have you had a bolt that won't budge?

You know leaf spring bolts are "splined" right below the head.....so yeah, they're made not to turn. Take the lock nut off the inside and drive the bolt out.....



You should really seek help.....those jackets look warm, and the padded room means you never have to look for a pillow.

Lmao

First time I looked at it was like
What am I looking at
Then I read grinder....
I looked again. Than saw it. So I rotated it. Now I see it.

Troy next time ask this old mechanic for help. And remember it's easier to turn a nut than bolt if you have access to both sides.

If that's him in the picture he looks old enough to know better


But I will say he takes self induced criticism better than I could

With my 3/4 drive impact at 1500 ftlbs ain't no bolt too tough.

That's not WT....I think he's mid 20s. He's probably got somebody to cut them off for him that has a grinder and knows how to run a cutoff tool/grinder without a trip to the emergency room....

Yes that is my unkle that was helping me we could not get them off at all even with a impact.

The "kid" has a pretty good sense of humor. I can say kid cause he's a lot younger than I am.

What helps sometimes on stuck bolts is to use a stick welder and weld on the end of the bolt to heat it up cherry red. This works great on broken manifold studs when you weld a washer and nut on.
