My coilovers arrived on Friday but one of the bolts that holds the hub to the shock tower is seized because the mob that fitted my springs didn't use a washer

Any ideas how to get it off?

You could try heat or if you can get a hand drill near the nut drill a or several holes in the nut to relive the tension in the nut

Spray it well with a penetrating oil like WD40, leave for a few minutes, tap it sharply a couple of times with a hammer then try removing it again. Depending how tightly it's seized you might have to do this procedure several times.

Spent yesterday afternoon and a quarter can of WD-40 trying that

Going to take it back to the workshop that fitted my coilovers, to get them to look at it for me.

A long extension bar - leverage is your friend...

I tried with a rattle gun already... no avail.
My 15 inches of manlihood was also, apparently, not up to the task...

Going back to the workshop that fitted these... make them undo it

Get the chisel and hammer onto it.. or grind it off makita style haha..

Yeah i dannoz man.. :S haha.. thought would build my posts up

It's not a left hand thread is it?
