OK, got defeated by one and lack of access. Seized nut that is. I have a splitter but the limited access meant a hacksaw blade and not much room. Four blades later and half way through.


So apart from gas cutting, unless there is a small tool for that, any killer nut removers out there?

Apart from the wife on finding out that away games mean sommit else

PS chisel and lump hammer no good either.

But with a Dremel tool or air rotary tool and cutoff wheel, they can really speed up some nasty jobs.

That's what I used for my last confined space stuck nut.

A quarter ounce of C4 always does the job. Otherwise the Dremmel or air tool sounds good.

[homer]Dremel eh[/homer]? OK, orfski to the shops then. Ta.


The sawing option went out of the window after 4 blades and a bashed elbow. I invented some new words then.

I like to keep the C4 for the bank..........just in case they won't give me any

How about - a grinding stone (small cylindrical one) and a flexible drill attacment..

Or just a air cutting wheel tool

Doh! See, step back ask someone else and they point out what you have been looking at but not seeing.

Cheers.


Better get some new goggles as well.

Probably too late: impact driver.
At least it worked a couple of times, but it seems that the space would not be enough for this.

Last resort for me was until now: hammer and chisel. In the right direction sometimes it starts to turn before you have 'chiselled' the whole thing.
It could be that you are now so far that the hammer and chisel could do the trick in a couple of blows.

Good luck,

Rob

Recent problem. Sorted (garage finished it off sorting MOT) but don't want to get caught out again. Stocking the armory for future assaults. Big problem with clearance on normal ramps. Need to get better ones of them as well.
