I want to remove the hydro units from my rear subframe. Am I correct in thinking that a good long soak in CRC-40 and large strap wrench are the go for releasing the "thread". I can't think of any other way. Any suggestions will be greatfully received by the management. Cheers. |

Yeah anything which helps you get a grip on the displacer is a bonus, and CRC will loosen things up nicely. Undo the hoses from the rear of the subframe first if you can, it will help take a load off the displacer as you try and turn it. |

They are usually not that difficult to "unlock", a bit of squirt and a tap with a soft hammer, then turn a bit With regards to CRC-40, it works, but there is better stuff around for unseizing rusty nuts & bolts Try a product called "INOX", you'll be suprised how much better it works Oh it's a good idear to deflate them first if you did'nt already know this Blue |

Thanks once again for the advice. I'll have a crack at it tonight. Tuesday night is Dad's "Mini Night" at our house - I get to work all night without being hassled for other duties. I usually get the odd few hours on weekends, but it's not guaranteed depending on family activities. I'm off to the shed... |
