I can't find a thread already for this? Maybe the info is buried in a more general thread somewhere?
Its for a high series bonnet. And I've got 2 with the same problem. The Lip/Trim is plastic. There are 5x 10mm nuts under the front edge of the bonnet. Then there is a double headed screw/bolt, which screws into the plastic Lip/Trim, then bolts through the bonnet to the nut. Obviously moisture gets into the bolt/not and they seize. The screw then undoes from the plastic Lip/Trim. Leaving the double headed screw/bolt attached to the nut and stuck in the bonnet. I've tried vice grips to clamp the screw head. But I can't get enough purchase to break the thread. Have tried WD40 with no improvement. Before I give up and grind them out, are there any obvious solutions I am missing? Thankyou. |

Thankyou for the suggestion. In hindsight I should have thought that through for myself. Haven't been able to make time yet to try it but will report back when I have.
