Undoing rear bench bolts?!?

[WILLYx]

Why are they so bloody tight?!

 

[Addicted]

Probably never been undone before - mine were easy to undo - get some WD40 on them.

 

[ben lee]

they will have threadlock on them.

Breaker bar, easy to remove then.

 

[sbridgey]

pretty sure mine came un-done with a standard ratchet, use a proper socket not the torqx to undo them.

Mine were stuck fast, my standard ratchet didn't touch them.

The threads will be rusty as they stick out the bottom of the chassis,
WD40 and a breaker bar will do the trick, just prey they don't snap.

This. Lots of penetrating spray and something with a long handle. If you're using something with a short handle find a pipe to slip over it (ie increase the moment of force)
Just be careful they don't snap.

Finally got them off... After taking all my knuckles off!

Car is now empty.

Eyebolts ordered, waiting for to pick up the bucket from my mate.

Strange when I first attempted taking mine off last summer the bolts were solid. So stiff I gave up fearing I'd shear them.
Decided to attack them again last week armed with a long breaker bar and to my surprise then span straight out with nothing more than an 8" ratchet.

Going by that, I should have another crack at mine!
