taking towbar off?

[msina1]

what would be the best tool to take a towbar off, its a mates vp and we've tried wrenches and a few sockets, but nothing seams to even loosen it?

[skruba]

rattle gun hookd up to aircompressor or maybe tension wrench

[TVR-190]

soak everything in wd40 and try the next day, might loosen it up a bit. if not what skruba said, or take it to a mech and ask how much for him to get it off

[msina1]

cheers, will try soaking it tommorow, how much would a mech charge to take it off? surely not much?

girls? i assume if you saw the person your talking about (from the safety of your keyboard), you'd know hes not a girl, i'd like to see you get it off then..

Just get a long extension on the ratchet. I found 5 foot was about enough when I had issues. When that snaps the bolt, then use the angle grinder.

its not alays about how big you are and im not trying to sound tough either.

i have a mate who is nearly half my size but he an crack bolts i cant.

seems liek theyre rusted pretty tight and if thats the ase you will only break them using a lever.

wurth and matbe some other companies make a spray called rost off, its kinda like wd-40 but designed for rusty shit.
give that a go

[centy]

grinder and cut the head or nut off the bolts.
or a nut splitter and split the nuts.
the nut splitter is harder to get hold of then a grinder.

[skruba]

if u can get a ratchet to grip bolt an then put a bar on it to xtend its length and u mite have better leveridge an honest u dony need to be a muscleman to do hardjobs im 18 5ft8 an weigh 65kg and iv surprised my BIG brothers wen it cums dwn to it

[markER717]

Big f**k off breaker bar and a steel pipe. Or a good rattle gun if you have a compressor..

[PUSHIN]

yeah i had some issues with mine, i just put a spanner on there with a big ass pipe, worked a charm

[scouser king]

angle grinder thats how i got it off on the vp :P
