Re: Bernie's u-bolt saga.
Did you strip all the thread is there any past where the nut was ?
If there is cut the buggerd bit of put the nut on the good thread.
Sounds easy don't it.

Re: Bernie's u-bolt saga.
Yer Bob, does sound easy...not...No thread left mate.
I have started on another...it seems just as tight as the first one
The one I got out was next to the air bag bracket thingy, so has some protection from road grime and was easier to turn the nut...I think...if the other next to the bracket is easy that will at least prove that point....I think plus, I'm down to only two nuts to play with.

Re: Bernie's u-bolt saga.
Thanks Bob .
I, when in Childers yesterday bought a new 7/8th socket a looong one has about two inches of free area in it.
hopefully it will help get another off today, with the new socket I wont have to keep removing the socket to ad more washers I hope.
The one I'm working on at the moment has about two inch's to go...plus the first one is still waiting my pleasure it only has about half inch to go....planning on both out today BUT time will tell.

Re: Bernie's u-bolt saga.
Ya number 3 out.
Just that first pesky one to deal with.
In the picture the one on the left is the last one out and the first to actually turn in the axle, I used the one on the right to tap it down.
