Bernie's u-bolt saga.

[VicA]

Do you have access to heat?
Heat has been my friend often.
Anyway I am sure you will enjoy the Hino when you have it on the road as we do with ours.
Cheers Vic

STill going to be interesting to get them out.

A hydraulic gear puller might be the go and press them out.

Bernie, once you have cut all those stubborn u-bolts and have the axle on the ground, can't you just belt the bejesus out of the leftover bits til they fall out ?

I think heating and cooling (freezing) may be needed, either that or drilling out with a drill half the diameter of the bolt.

an't you just belt the bejesus out of the leftover bits til they fall out ?

.... until it flares from crushing and not moving.

I reckon that Bernie already has a plan. He just hasn't told us what it is yet.

Beer.

Winnie the Pooh has honey.

Paddington has marmalade sandwiches

Axle wont be on the ground at any stage Dave.
I've had a rethink about doing the other side.

MY plan is to talk to the spring people when I take it for repair.
They may have the answer....or not.
Bernie.
