splittin my splits

hay guys, ive decided to furb up my splits, they are a two piece.

ive got the tyres off, tried to undo the bolts but they r sooo dam tight, they have allen key fitment on the front and a 13mm nut on the backs. i cnt get a ratchet on the nuts coz they r so close to the outter. ne advice would be a help, i thought there was a page on this on edition but cnt seem to find it?

cheers, steph

i normaly use molgrips on the rears if im splitting wheels by myself, and doesnt matter if your going to buy all new nuts and bolts. send me a pic on msn if you struggle and ile see what i can do

ok mate ill get sum piks 2moro, dnt wna fook my nuts n bolts up 2 much tho.

damaged nuts are bad!

lol thanks for that billy

Don't mean to insult you by stating the obvious, but have you tried an extension bar on the ratchet?

Or is it the socket that's too big to fit? If so you can get a deep socket which should have slimmer sides and might be a better fit?

Like zeeeees

not yet, got sum new tools for the job on sunday but not budging! think they have corroded with the ally! think ima heat em up with a blow torch n c if that does the trick just wish i had bigger muscles lmao

I wouldn't put too much heat on them steph.. might end up warping or melting the ally. You would probably be ok if your using one of those small low power blow torches or a turbo lighter though.
