Glen 1 - Rear Suspension Hub bolt 0
Discussion
Well the father in law decided to go away for the week so no access to oxy torch :-(
Quick trip to pick up a standard blow torch and had the little buggers out in no time. Had to take woolys advice and cut the centre piece of rod out, then heated up for 5 mins and a wack with a hammer and bobs your uncle :-)
Whilst the blow torch was out I thought I'd get the suspension bushes out whilst I was at it. Saw on you tube that if you hear the metal on the outside till it starts fizzing and popping then push the bush with a suitable screw driver the bush slides out as the rubber has melted a tad and slips out
All in all she is now ready for blasting :-)
Phew.....beer time

Did you use a press on the stuck bolts?
Randomly no, cut out theiddle bit, heated one side for 5 mins that hit with a normal hammer and out they came. Guess I was fortunate? First one was a right pain but the second hub was literally 15 mins job done as I knew what I wa doing
Have learnt a great deal on this re build !!!
