Bolt seized rear bearing hub
HELP !!!
Removed 3 but really struggling with last seized bolt on XC 90 2005 2.4 D5 RHS rear bearing hub.. It's the one bottom left (from in front of the wheel) We've removed the bar that blocks access and heated it up but still no joy . Any tips gratefully received ! |
Proper penetrating fluid applied at both ends of the bolt, patience and an impact wrench set on low and used to shock the bolt in both directions.
The vibrations will help loosen the corrosion. If you force a breaker bar, it could snap the bolt. |

If the head becomes damaged, you will need to just grind that corner off the bearing back plate... |

You could also end up damaging the brake disc guard. Quote:
I can't remember on an XC90 but on my S60, the bearing bolt threads are clearly visible on the outside. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...f3041890_c.jpg |

BTW we have successfully changed the other three axles and bearings on this car .. It's this one bolt that's stumped us !!!

Perhaps because his is up on a ramp and he's not having to crawl about on the floor ? We watched this video yesterday and had a good laugh at how easily he undid this particular bolt !!
