HUB: shock pinch bolt

[puglove]

Right so iv snapped pinch bolt for the shock and cant seem to remove the remaining part.of the bolt. now im wondering if the bolt head is welded or fixed to the hub some how. iv beat the crap out of it with loads of heat & plus gas. has anyone ever removed this bolt? shed any light on this??

[ConorTRG]

Probably just siezed in it, get a punch and hit it out from the oppisite side but i presume youve already tried that, shock around the hub around the stud with a hammer and it should come out after a bit.

I did this and ended up drilling it out lol, real bitch it was

[Niall]

They arent welded in. Mine move freely when loose.

[puglove]

yeah iv smashed the shit out of it with a punch. shocked it with 1&2 hammers. got it as hot as i dare and tryed beating on it. loooads of plus gas. i fear i may end up doing what RD did


some one should introduce peugeot to copper slick!!!

[ConorTRG]

You could also grind a bit of the side of the head of the stud and clamp a good set of vise grips on it to get it to turn a bit.

Drill it then smack what is left of the head off. If for some strange reason the remainder of the head doesn't wanna budge, grind it

and tryed beating on it.

Definitely read that as 'and tried breathing on it'... Had an awkward moment of imagining you just exhaling onto the pinch bolt

Yeah CC me in on that. Preferably with macro on so I can see everything.

[puglove]

any preferred bolt??

[C2K]

I have had this twice now and both times the remainder wouldn't come out no matter what I tried including heat and punches.

Only thing left was to press it out but I just swapped hubs.

[puglove]

Im managed to get it hot enough to punch out in the end, I did have to take the hub off though
