duncmc Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 After finally removing the castellated nut this eveving I got onto front bracket fixing the front of the upper arm where the bush is. One stubborn bolt has had the nut cut off but will still not bash out with a lump hammer and drift. Does anyone know if it is threaded into the casting of the bracket/ Or is it just stuck? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frax Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Hi It is just stuck, try to turn it with what is left of the bolt or just give the bracket a good dunt. Frax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncmc Posted April 6, 2011 Author Share Posted April 6, 2011 Thanks Frax. I didn't think it would be, I will try turning it. I will put one of the other bolts back too and try that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
