Yep Forged jate rings. Best ones to have.

Replace the bolts, as you don't know what stresses have been placed on them and they'll be corroded as well.
 
Hmmm....been looking at them. Tried to get the bolts out and replace. Didn't work. Will be cutting the f*ckers off. Been playing with them ages, no budge, nicely rusted/jammed in place. Gotta buy new ones....welll....new to me!
 
I was originally thinking angle grinder. But due to the proximity to the chassis....

Might ask the yard manager at work to have a look tommorrow, see if he can think of a way.
 
i got some 115x0 cutting disks kicking about somewhere i got them to cut some sheet steel but me grinder won't hold them lol
 
He's got them off! Don't know what he used. Forgot to ask him. But hes not hit the chassis! Thats why I didn't want to do it myself.
 
you need more time using a grinder then, i would have used me 230mm cutting disk it would have taken 10seconds
 
Grinders aren't something I really have much experience with.

I'm a spanners and simple mechanics kind of guy. I was going to hack it off, but had a better way to spend 2 hours.
 
When you replace the bolts, use loads of Copaslip grease.
