Right, riddle me this.
I need to get this nut off:
Trouble is, the socket on the bolt has rounded and I can no longer stop it from spinning while I attempt to undo the bolt. I've bought another arm to go on so I'm happy to butcher this one.
Initial thought was a nut splitter, but would it split the nut this thick?
Another idea is to cut a groove in the top to place a flat head screwdriver (or socket) into it, but the nut rising may close this gap.
I've tried forcing a bigger head into this but he aftermarket part has such soft metal that it didn't work.
Bit skeptical of dremelling the nut off due to how close it is to the hub, but it may be an option.
Thoughts? |
I've been known to weld another bolt to the rounded one. Or even buy a cheap wrench at a pawn shop and weld the wrench right to it.
