Seized bolts holding hub !!!! was created by hathome
Hi All
Finally took a couple of days off to sort the King Pin Bearings - Was all going well until I got to the four bolts holding the disc backplate & hub to the knuckle. These are so baldly corroded that the size is now somewhere between 14 & 13mm and I'm unable to shift them!!
Anyone with experience on this who can offer help would be much appreciated.
PS - Martin (mlines) - Thanks for all your help so far.

Just noticed today that one of mine is leaking oil again, was only repaired a few months ago
What is it that kills these bearings / seals?

Water. Especially muddy water. Or salty water. Or just water.
They are like Gremlins. Do NOT get them wet.
If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there

4Wd when off roading in the dry breaks the transmission
You need some slippage to use it.
You can't win
Just don't go through muddly water.

www.samaritans.org/talk_to_someone.aspx get some help quick!
I think the lower bearing design is feeble, as others have said just general wear can kill them. I hadn't used mine off road for a long while and they were still shot. Bumpy roads and just water and salt from the roads can dry them out.
