I just use a draper Allen key bit from the set and a 3/8 ratchet, if needed I use a big screwdriver to hold the flywheel.________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

Have you tried an Impact driver? that should get them to move. If not Just grind or drill the heads off then the threads will just screw out as the pressure on them is gone (we had to do this on a few of Daveyboys ones) |

Thanks for your suggestions but my final solution was a bit unorthadox. On two of the bolts the torx bit would not hold and was starting to chew the nuts. I used a scissor jack against the inside wing applying pressure to the ratchet and torx bit and hey presto! |
