The big experiment - amateur 3B shenanigans

[Nj]

I will mate. as long as I can get a swing at that mofo i'll be annoying the crap out of the locals tonight. and if that doesn't work my freeze spray was posted today so i'll give it a spray and try again. and if that doesn't work i'll spary it again and just open up a six pack o' whoopass on it with the hammer in a knightrider stylee.

Lol make more space on the car, cut the floor pan out if its going for scrap afterwards (just mind out there's nothing underneath) and create yourself your very own short sport s2 (with a slightly bent ***)

[Nj]

that's good thinking actually. i'll need to get a stihl saw.

[Acidburn]

Lol which idea? the 2nd sunroof or the short sport s2?

Don't think i've ever seen one and not sure what one would look like, ain't got a photoshop program on this machine otherwise would have knocked one up for a laugh.

[Nj]

maybe both. still fancy the s2 beach buggy but I can't afford to mess about and not have a car worth a couple of quid at the end. the wife would cut me a new hole if I presented her with a beach buggy.
Also i only have mspaint in work so i can't knock together a picture either.

worth a try if the freeze spray doesn't work.

I've have one of these screw extractors snap inside the drilled bolt. It made a difficult job all the harder as that they make mincemeat out of HSS and even cobalt drills. Maybe I was just unlucky. Maybe not.

[tgriff]

probably worth buying a good quality set ,they do look far too cheap.just the first example i found on tinternet

no you were not unlucky i had a set of facom ones and they snapped as well the larger ones are fine but the smaller ones just snap and as you said good luck trying to drill them out its just not going to happen

I will get a set if I need it. i'm sure my dad had a set and i grew up wondering what the hell it was. It would be a fine addition to my expanding tool kit

[Nj]

lads, what do I need to get the driveshafts off? the bolts look like 10 pointed torx heads or something
cheers

They are in indeed torx heads mate.
I cant remember the size Im afraid and I dont have a car to check on ATM so you will have to count em

You sadly cant buy them individually (that Ive ever seen) but you need a set that you can fit on to a socket. Halfrauds is probably the 'best' place on a sunday!

[Nj]

aww man. a whole separate set of sockets, just for the driveshafts? you gotta wonder why an allen head or normal torx head wasn't good enough.
ah nuts.
cheers for the advice mate
