no need to drill it, hammer and screw driver and "tap it round"

 

[Armani]

Il even pop to your gaff, il provide the whatever food i can buy as i could burn porridge and food poisoning is FTL. Shiz il even pay as long as there is some rotary action.

I try that on mine and no way and some easy outs no good ended up drilling and re-tapping it :rasp:

Fred, by doin that wont it mess up the thread in the Flanj ??

 

[JD]

just to bump this, Ben_P had a go with your suggestion fred and it wouldnt shift.

going to drill the bolt this evening as the metal is as soft as s**t (hence it sheared)

then thinking about hammering in the screw driver after that . . . thoughts?

Renault removed 4x locking nuts for me today for £50 quid ish. Doubt they/ a garage would charge much for one.

 

[JD]

yeah i just don't want to spend the money tbh mate, plus cant get it into a garage until monday and have nothing to do tonight lol

 

[iimushroomzii]

Ive easy-out'd full locking nuts before, sheared ones should be a piece of piss as theres no pressure on them.

 

[JD]

explain me boyo

 

[mattjk]

you have tried just twisting if off with pliers? remember once the head is removed there is no tension in it so it should come out fairly easily.

edit: pretty much what izzimushrooman said.

 

[JD]

there is nothing to "twist" mate. it has sheared cleanly inside the disc/hub. nothing to get at if you see what i mean.

 

[iimushroomzii]

Basically, you drill a hole down the center of the bolt, then use one of the extractors, ( Basically a tapered drill bit with a reverse thread) to wind them out. its simple.

 

[JD]

if you have a reverse threaded drill bit, yes. thats the prob, i dont have one.

do you reckon halfrauds sell them?

 

[iimushroomzii]

maybe, think I got my set from machine mart, "easy-outs" or something along those lines.

there's your problem :rasp:

 

[domjolly]

my local quick fit did this to mine for a tenner. they used a hole punh think they drilled slightly and very lightly into the snapped nut and then slotted the hole punch in and twisted it out took like 20 mins

 

[JD]

ah good man, might pop into them on the way home!

cheers
