Good evening,


With some spare time this afternoon. I thought I would give my striker pins the de-flanging treatment, just in case!



I couldn't budge any of the four bolts, using a ring spanner or ¼" drive sockets. I assume there are captive nuts in the hollow section, so are those bolts 'Loctited', or is the resistance likely to be corrosion? Unfortunately, Plusgas won't flow uphill! I don't fancy removing the bonnet under any circumstances, even to drill out broken bolts, and still less do I fancy applying heat, so any other suggestions will be welcome.


Thanks in anticipation,


Derek.
