I Don't believe it
« on: May 15, 2005, 17:46:48 »
Every time I post on here I have a problem, and yes guess what I have another one.

Taking the steering guard off, and there is a huge bolt on the left hand side looking from the front that secures the steering mechanism to the chassis as well as the guard. I know it undoes as I put the guard on, trying to taek it off though and the bolt head snapped off.

Using another bolt I have tried to knock out the remainder of the bolt with a mallet, no chance, it just will not budge.

Any thoughts how I can get this thing out....

TIA

I have had the same problem with mine, I used excessive heat to nock the bolt through after a good soak with the old PLUS GAS!!. just be aware that you can melt the steering unit seals if you are on the near side.
