ingham 5 Posted June 24, 2010 Report Share Posted June 24, 2010 grind heads off. get new bolts from vw or be sure you get high tensile steel ones to replace them Link to post Share on other sites
LadVR 0 Posted June 24, 2010 Report Share Posted June 24, 2010 Weld a nut on? Or hammer and chisel the bolt to shock it loose Link to post Share on other sites
Dave_ciw 507 Posted June 24, 2010 Report Share Posted June 24, 2010 Hammer and Chisel is trhe best cut into the bolt first with the chisel then angle it and smack them round. Link to post Share on other sites
caretaker 0 Posted June 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2010 Thanks guys, looks like the old fashioned way is best.. just not a lot of room to work in, thought there may be some magical soloution to undo it ! you know like the old rounded off drive shaft bolt using the 12mm socket trick.. better warm up the grinder I suppose!
