Righty Tighty.... Left Loosey ?

Just kidding ;D

Applying some heat and giving them a good twat with a hammer can loosen stuck bolts, not sure if your supposed to do that to wheel bolts (I have in the past ) Were they done up by a garage or by yourself? The problem I had was that the garage guys used pneumatic air drill things to tighten them up and they really were fecking tight!!!!!

i think it was done up by a pneumatic thing at a garage


i dont really have anything to heat it up with... unless a disposable lighter would work ;D

can you get it to a garage for them to try? Im sure they'd give it a go for nowt. Someone on here might have a compressor with the pneumatic drill attachment?

is the car on the floor? if not then do that first! if it still moves then chock the wheels up so it cant roll

shouldn't having the handbrake on and being in 1st gear stop it rolling?

and yes its on the floor

are you pulling up on the bar, or pushing down? Might not make any difference, but i always thought that pushing down was more effective
