I just thought I'd let you all know about this brilliant bit if kit I bought and used today.
Whilst changing the rear caliper on Wor lass's Volvo XC90, I was braying the bejeesus out of two 14 mil bolts on the caliper mounting assembly that were threadlocked. One came off, and I rounded the other.
It's a bit cramped in there and I was raging with myself that I was going to have to borrow my mate's oxy-torch to give it some heat. I looked on t'internet last night and saw the bolt removers reviewed, and picked up a set from screwfix this afternoon.
I WD'd the bolt last night. Did it again this aft. Had a brew whilst waiting. 10 mins later I beat the 14 mil extractor on with a copper hammer I use for my old jag's wire wheels. Then, genuinely, five heavy bangs on the ratchet, and out it comes.
Absolutely brilliant.
I've got nowt to do with the company that makes it, and I'm a competent but not expert amateur grease monkey wannabe. I cannot praise it enough.
Hopefully I won't need to use them too regularly, but I'm delighted.
