Hi,Stupidly bought a M12 bolt without double checking if it was 1.5mm thread...
EDIT
I've rounded the ARB end cap holes, I was using the method where you put a bolt into the ARB end cap to push it out.
Cheers

Might be able to get a crowbar under the plate to remove one end, you can then slide the ARB out from the other end.________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |

Tyre levers or a puller is the only way now, unless you can do a helicoil thread repair in-situ.________________________________________ R H Davey Welding Supplies.

(Typical answer from Chris though, his first resort is always a big hammer)   Personally I'd weld a stud to the plate and just use a slide hammer to pull the bugger off, but thats me. ________________________________________ R H Davey Welding Supplies.
