Daaave Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 Having real difficulty at the moment trying to remove this bolt! When I was changing my discs last time those bolts were a complete bastard. The fronts were ok because I could get my long torque wrench on to them. The rears were a bit more restricted and I had to use a crappy small ratchet which was about half the length. I almost gave up, but after a load of WD40 and a rest - off they came. Quote
