Hi All,
Last time I did any work on a car that involved more than just changing a tyre was back in the 80's, so the enforced time at home due to "you know what" means I'm trying to do a few jobs on my 2005 Defender.
First problem I've encountered is how to get hex screws/bolts out when they are rusted in - any suggestions?![](/lz/proxy.php?image=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.landyzone.co.uk%2Fdata%2Fattachments%2F197%2F197310-f1aae2cd5df75656b015a2b78d0d0dc0.jpg&hash=fc3210b3b3ea8e6a0b2b95a021e624a9)
I've got the correct hex bit size, but these just aren't moving.
Second question concerns the wheel hubs - the front drivers side hub centre is rusting quite badly - see photo below. Should I just clean off the rust and loosen the bolts? Or can I Hammerite it?

Any advice very gratefully received
Thanks
Geoff
