If those bolt heads and nuts are in such poor condition I suggest that you invest in a set of 1/2” drive twist sockets. I bought a set a couple of years ago after having some demonstrated to me by a neighbour who owns a small garage. Assuming that you have the correct size twist socket for the offending bolt they haven’t been beaten yet. Good luck.

They were like that on my breaker car. I had to go for tons of heat followed by hammering a slightly smaller 12 point socket over the bolt head. I then let the impact wrench do the biz

That’s how the twist sockets work. Hammer on the appropriate sized one.

That would be these wee beasties then Ian?

Often thought about a set but so far haven't got to the point of actually needing them.

I also keep thinking of an induction heater for reluctant nuts, at the moment they're a bit on the ŁOUCH! side for my pocket Vs the amount of use it would get. Been seriously looking at building my own which would cost a few quid and work off 12V but again, how often would i use it?

*** EDIT *** This is the sort of animal i mean but the dcimal point is in the wrong place!

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/184705382512

The beauty of it being flameless is the surrounding areas don't get fried, the heat is concentrated inside the coil and heats the nut more than the thread it's on. Oh yeah and less chance of burning through a rubber fuel or brake hose!

Yes that’s them.
That induction heater looks clever, but a lot of money for something hardly ever needed. Ideal if a business though where time is money.

I've heard these are very good https://www.amazon.co.uk/Irwin-Bolt-...c=1&th=1&psc=1

I think Luke recommended them to me

After ordering and recieving both a set of Laser Socket Cap removal bits, and a set of twist bits I returned to the fray this morning, tackling the nearside set-up as it's easier to access when the car's parked in its usual spot.

Jack up, remove wheel, prop up on axle stand - all ticks.

Undo bolts for caliper slides, with no need for twist bits - ticks.

Remove pads and put caliper out of harm's way - ticks.

Remove caliper yoke bolts - pass the Laser bits please. Application of breaker bar to socket and the yoke bolts budged - more ticks.

Remove hub cover - pardon? How do you remove the hub cover without destroying it?

Put the brake system back together; I KNOW the yoke and slide bolts are use-once items but the Valdez is going nowhere and I'd rather have it on 4 paws than three paws and an axle stand.
