Hi All
Replacing a fautly alternator on my series 1 Au S/wagon. All going well till that last 10mm bolt that goes from the power steer pump bracket. Different people tried different socket sets etc till the head rounded ![]() Anyway any ideas on how to remove? Was thinking of just cutting the head off but not sure if the bolt will just pull out? Banging on a smaller socket but no reall space to swing a hammer? Cut the bracket? Cheers Mick |

if it`s rounded sometimes you can hammer on the next size down socket.

Hi All
Got the bugger off ![]() Used an Irwin bolt remover socket. Came off really easy. This was after a 'professional' auto electrician tried and said it's stuck and to call in the bolt remover specialist! Cheers Mick |
