jmeslo Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 I've got the u bolts off but I can't get the center bolt that runs through the leafs to come off it just spins and there's no way of stopping it since they are rounded bolts not a real bolt. Any ideas on getting that center bolt off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87manche1 Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Vise grips or cut it off and replace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParadiseMJ Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 :agree: Cut it. You're going to have to replace it anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Agreed -- cut it off. Although I've had good luck clamping the round head in a pair of Vise-Grips. It helps to clamp the leaves together on both sides of the pin with C-clamps to take the load off the nut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 absolutely have a C-clamp holding the leaves together, just in case there's any built-up tension that wants to release suddenly when you cut the bolt. :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmeslo Posted July 5, 2013 Author Share Posted July 5, 2013 Ended up cutting them off, tried the vise grips but it still spun. She's ready for the new rims and tires in the morning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
