The other thing to try is putting as much force as you can on the nut with a socket and long bar and get someone to hit the socket with a hammer. Its amazing what a little tappy tap can do.Quote:

So this part of the job is done...
Topped up fuel and finished most of the packing for my departure for Perth on Wednesday. Tomorrow will be spent getting the house organised to leave for a couple of weeks, and hope to be out of here by 0700 on Wednesday.
Safe travels JohnQuote:

I was about at the point of drilling a few small holes in the nut before that
Thanks MFC, I didn’t have a large enough socket for the rattle gun and didn’t want to use the ordinary socket and risk shattering it. I was using a 600mm length of gal pipe on the socket but the whole thing just moved in the vice. I did take it to KLR and they had it off in seconds. Brad did say ‘we normally take these off on the vehicle’ but certainly helps having all the correct equipment.Quote:
