Re: [ST] HELP!

Workshops use a nut "cracking" tool to split the nut when it seizes.

You might need to look around to see if you can borrow one.

If its jammed well and tight it must have stripped the thread on the
nut.

If the axle bolt thread has stripped its going to get tricky to cut the
thread back in.

Cheers

Here's a good one.  The rear axle nut on the RS125 seized.  We got it
started and began unscrewing it, then it just stopped.  Can't take it
off or tighten it back tight.  It's just plumb stuck.

How can we get it off?  Even a 220ftlb impact wrench won't budge it.
