Watch where we're going with this one. We have our very own resident wheel slayer after all Don't want those Honda boys googling up more ammo for their silly thread now do we.
Anyone else remember this thread?
Seized Wheel Stud on VR6
79 MK1 Golf Wreck to Race / 79 MK1 Golf The Red Thread / 76 MK1 Golf Kamei Race Car
7? MK1 Caddy
79 B1 Passat Dasher Project
12 Amarok
Lolz...
In which case, how would you get something like that off without Wheel Carnage Celebrity Deathmatch XII?
Matt still has the remnants of that wheel in his workshop, like a trophy
76 MkI 3 door - daily drive/project - 1.8 5speed
76 MkI 3 door swallowtail - 16v track car
76 MkI 3 door "long term" project
The best bit in that thread i thought was old mate saying his drills were brass and his tap was titanium..
Now why you would run a tap into it, christ knows but anyways.. They would have both have been High Speed Steel and it sounds like the drills were TiN coated (gold colour).
If it was me i would have centre drilled it, then drilled right through it with a small (say.. 4mm) drill and then stepped it up in increments to a size not much smaller than the minor diameter of the thread, to see if that allowed it to crush and break the lock on it. Then try and easyout, probably heat the bolt with the oxy too (if you do it carefully you won't hurt the wheel).
I definitely could have got the wheel off without hacking it up with a reciprocating saw!
