Anyone have heating gear or industrial size air gun ( 1" drive etc ..).

I have a hub nut that won't come off, starting to round the hub nut with a breaker bar and 5ft poll. I have removed the hub with C.V joint attached, so can transport it anywhere.

Any help would be much appreciated.

I can but have no transport at the moment. Ill speak to Jen when she gets in, see if I can pinch the mini.

And no resorting to grinders please

Thanks Campbell.

Although, nothing wrong with angle grinders. It was the tit using it that was to blame. I have a fear of them now anyway, even the noise gives me flash backs.

Bad news is you may have to drill and chisel it off...

I had one that we tried inch-drive gear with and even used a welder to heat it up, but it would not shift... Drill, steady hand and a chisel to split - took fooking ages though.

Im hoping it doesn't come to that Shug. I've heated them with oxy acetylene until the nut is red hot, thats usually enough to get them moving.

It's only been on 4 days i'm not fit to do the work myself so Cheez (big ginger mate) gave me a hand. I don't have a torque wrench that goes up that high (never have) so told him to give it a good tighten. I forgot he's over 6ft and double my weight and there is a big difference between my tight and his.

i've seen someone weld a bigger nut onto the hub nut after it got chewed up. Came off after that

LOL, you will know better the next time

Sorry for cheap grinder dig, btw, just came out too fast. I didn't fancy using one before your encounter, now I categorically never will as I am bound to be an even bigger t!t than you when it comes to using such equipment

Just stick to the correct type of cheap grinder.......



tut

ps Did anybody leave a passenger behind after Tut Towers, or has Old Deer just started going downhill since June?

I was getting impatient so Cheez came round to try and drill/chisel it off.

Along took him 30mins Cars on all 4 wheels again.

Alan

P.S No worries Campbell

Bravo. Which is more than could be said for Tut's a couple of weekends ago

I should say i have a set of gas bottles at home for further reference

As well as a few other heavy duty tools for abusing metal
