Rounded Nut

[ugy]

Well I have some good suggestion and plenty to try.What I might do is go to Repco or someone and try and get something It's the nut up the top by the turbo and there's bugger all room. I tried a ring spanner from the engine bay but it was to tight There's two , ones easy to get at and the others a sh..t and tight. Looks like the easy part is going to be gutting it.

Thanks for the input

don`t forget to try some rp7 or wd40 as the heat is probably the full cause of it too.

Well sounds like you got your self in the sh*t,golden rule,pr7 wd40 what ever,and always undo the *beep* of a nut first,at least loosen it

If you undo the easy ones first,it could bind on the prickk one making it even more worsta

vik...and many skinned knuckels later

The tool you want are Metrinch, ring spanners or sockets. Not the best thing for normal use but brilliant on rounded nuts as they grip on the flats not the corners.

And there is super concetrated wd40 is called Penetrene or something like that...just squirt on then sit back and wait, for it to do the hard work for you.

A tip I've found useful when undoing tight nuts is to do them up a fraction first and then undo them. I know this sounds strange but it works. And soaking in WD40 or similar (even fly spray works if you haven't any WD, serious! ) is helpful too.
