    Bolt issues

    Fello LR owners, I've had enough trying to find answers on releasing a seized bolt. I need your recommendations!!!

    A 19mm bolt on my brake hub is seized.. We've thrown wd all over it, tried some freeze and release loctite.. Had a 1/2 drive electric rattle gun on it... Not a bloody sniff of movement... What are my options, shy of grinding the head off and bashing it out?

    Please help guys!!!

    Have you tried to tighten it slightly - sometimes all it needs is a little movement in any direction to get it going.
