Access to a welder? You might be able to get underneath and weld a nut to the head of it... |

Do you have hex hed sockets, impact driver ones, often this will hold while other wont. |

six sided socket, or a quick zap with the oxy, or loctite frezze your nut's off.... tap it with a small hammer then go for it.... |

thanx , but as jonno has said the reason his bolt comes loose is that he didn't have the ken idiot who has obviously loctited this bolt in ! have a welder and lpg kit but not to keen as the fuel delivery hoses are about 50mm away . am also using an impact socket on a breaker bar so i now know for sure ken idiot has been at work with his loctite . will have to think this thru again . thanx again |

Simply wrap the hoses in some wet rags. there is no vapours so all your concerns are with heat transfer wrecking the lines. I do oodles of welding this way in tight roof spaces with oxy/acetelyne. |

many thanks for all your suggestions . tried welding a bolt to the locked one , but weld broke before anything happened . then the previously installed immobiliser decided that i wasn,t allowed to start the car........ $245 later the immobiliser was removed and the starter replaced ( die grinder to cut through bracket and break off from mount , closed eyes and walked away ) . when the bolt came out was caked in loctite . ken idiot would have been proud, $500 for 2cents worth of loctite . |
