Hi Gatos,

Sorry to be an Arse but does it have the slider bolts with it and a couple of the mounting bolts if so, Then how would you want paying do you have paypal or some thing else.

While on the subject, have been reading round the site and you seem to really know what you are doing.
My question is how is the best way to remove the mounting bolts, on these, mine are seized solid part rounded, have tried Wd40 on them over the last few days, also some heat from a small blow torch. All I want to do is put a new dick and pads in have done all the other wheels, they all went fine.

And many thanks for a fast contact back

Hi Peter

Sometimes if the bolts are seized and rounded off you need to hammer the next size down 1/2" square drive bi-hex socket on to the head of the bolt; and I mean hammer it fully home. Then get a 900mm (or so) breaker and give it a good steady heave. It will go eventually or the bolt will break. Either way it will come apart. If the bolt doesn't break and comes out do not ever be tempted to reuse it. Often a lot of swearing helps too.

Yes, carrier with both sliders and all four bolts...... And yes, paypal is fine.

With regards to the stuck bolts, I would be a bit careful with the blowtoch in that area, as the bearings are very near that area and you don't want to fry the grease in there.

Either try hammering a 14mm impact socket and try undoing the bolts. I have an impact wrench and a loooong breaker bar which help with stubborn bolts.

Or get a specialised kit like one of these:

And many thank flyingtech55, for answering and giving me tips on how to get the things undone. Will have a go if not I will wait for my new part from Gatos and angle grind it off as I will not need to save any of it.

Thanks Again.
