Bar the Jeremy Clarkson take a hammer to it approach- and wait till morning and get better tools will spraying q20 help or do I just need more brute force?

Kalahari Vegmot Posted January 26, 2018 Share More brute force. You haven't got much leverage from that thing... But with q20 overnight it might work with little leverage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaGearA Posted January 26, 2018 Share go to Bolt fast and get yourself A proper set of T - handles , more than enough toque for that bolt and you'll use them for the rest of your life. mine were about 400 randelas for 2mm - 10mm bikebloke, DirtyDan and Kalahari Vegmot 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrumpyOldGuy Posted January 26, 2018 Share It is probably overtightened anyway, even though you don't get a lot of leverage, the kit key should work. You don't need a T Bar, just a plain Allen key of the correct size is fine, a couple of rand at any hardware store, you aren't doing major bike repair work, if you need a bit more leverage to loosen the bolt, slip a short length of pipe or a ring spanner over the key shaft to gain leverage, it will work just fine, don't use extra leverage to tighten up, just use the normal Allen key and nip it up hand tight.

Paul Ruinaard Posted January 27, 2018 Share A nickname for any sort of spray on lubricant that loosens things that shouldnt be that tight.. Many types of uses for "Spook" as opposed to Spook asem which is Candy Floss and can be used for many purposes. Spook and Diesel: Stuff you drink after and long day... Spook Pis: sounds like you spent some time in the military :-( Uni 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sniffie Posted January 27, 2018 Share The word spookasem is also used in Afrikaans for Quickstart in aerosol cans. Useful in starting hard to start petrol and diesel utility engines like found in lawn mowers, chainsaws, water pumps exectra.
