Are you winding him up. What a silly idea you surprise me Clarky.

Would you not advocate cutting them off, Wammers, even if you intend replacing them anyway? They are a major arse-ache to remove (at least in my case they were)...

No unless they were so badly damaged as to be impossible to remove in any other way. I always find using the correct methods and tools is a very large advantage. Unless the bolt shanks are damaged or the nyloc nuts run up the threads without any resistance, using them again is not a problem. Providing they are tightened properly.

Pretty difficult to get any sort of cutter on the bolts without collateral damage

Well, the tool arrived, and u did the work the other day. Thunk I found the culprit of the noise an vibration...

That's how I found them - bone dry, no needle bearings, and shattered. Bah. Last owner is a bumhole...

Ain't seen grease in a long time

wammers · Jul 23, 2012

Yeah i would say that. Wonder what that little nipple type thing screwed into it is for?

RossDagley · Jul 23, 2012

I can't thank you guys enough for the assistance. I'm capable of a lot of stuff having built several cars up over the years but the Rangie is on a whole 'nother level as everything is upsized and lorry like!

Think you will find the grease nipples are all the same size though.

The only part I never got to grips with was thread sizes ie fine thread course ect I still have to double check when using my thread cleaner files

it takes practice ,we used to get bolts anodized and how ever you sent them they just came back in a mixed box ,which with lrs is a mixed box ,imperial,metric incuding different pitches ,and whitworth,after youve done a few you soon learn to identify any bolt by eye

Peugeot 106's are my thing - the only greased nipples in the past have been with my wife, but that's a whole 'nother story, and you're not getting pictures of that

Yes the British had the absurd idea of sizing and pitching threads based on the properties of the material - maximising the strength. Basing thread sizes on numerical convenience makes much more sense - doesn't it!?

P38 Vibration..U/V joint looks culprit.
