 Volkswagen Polo III - seized locking nut - zookeeper
hi room, been looking to try and unseize locking nut on the polo,s track rod but to no avail, the nice people at halfords tried and they couldnt budge it. i was thinking of purchasing one of those parasene blow torches and applying some heat to the problem
any advise or tips in this procedure would be very helpful
the other idea i had was to apply washers/spacers between the siezed nut and the outer balll joint hoping that may straighten things up (trial and error)
I dont want to have to replace the lot if i can help it.....thanks zoo
