Re: [MBZ] I want to loose my lug bolts -- well that is disappointing

I bought a small set of Cle-line drills a couple years ago, definitely the most expensive drill bits I've ever bought but boy do they cut! I had to drill out a bolt on the motor for my loader and it zipped right through. I have poor luck drilling out bolts but I think its probably because I'd

Carbide drills will do a much better job of cutting the high strength bolt material. On Sun, Mar 24, 2019 at 4:33 PM Floyd Thursby via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > Hit the stuck bolts with the air wrench, just let it bang for a good > while, some fwd/rev trying to loosen them.

Re: [MBZ] I want to loose my lug bolts -- well that is disappointing

Hit the stuck bolts with the air wrench, just let it bang for a good while, some fwd/rev trying to loosen them.  Finally sheared one off, then the other.  Sigh.  So I got one most of the way drilled out until time to quit.  That steel is tough, a center punch got dulled too.  I used various

Re: [MBZ] I want to loose my lug bolts

Strikes me this is a galling problem not a thread problem. They usually turn easily once the ball is freed up. Not sure what the answer is apart from using wheels with steel seat inserts. On Sun, Mar 24, 2019, 5:55 AM Dan Penoff via Mercedes wrote: > Who cares as long as you got some soak time?

next step:  Mexican rattlerench:  Put your 18" breaker bar  on.  if you have an extension, support the extension with a jackstand.  then take a 2 lb LFH and beat on the end of the breaker bar until it frees or about 10 min. per nut. Buggered Benzmail via Mercedes wrote on 3/24/19 2:57 PM:

Re: [MBZ] I want to loose my lug bolts

If I use a breaker bar with stuck lugs, I use at least a 25" with a 5" extension and support the extension on a jack stand. Then I can safely stand on the other end of the bar. Mitch. On March 24, 2019 at 3:57 PM Buggered Benzmail via Mercedes wrote: > > > There was some elixir still in

I checked it a little while ago and some had oozed out but most of it was still there. When I get back from my bike ride and have some brunch I’ll hit it with the air impact wrench and see if I can get the wheel off. --FT Sent from iPhone > On Mar 24, 2019, at 8:55 AM, Dan Penoff via Mercedes

I mixed up some magic elixer acetone+ATF to use to try to get the lug bolts off the SL600 wheel that is stuck on.  I put a big piece of duct tape over the bolt hole on the wheel and then filled it up with the elixer.  Will let it soak as long as it will sit there, not sure if it is going to
