Hi Guys & girls.
First post on here,MG Zt 05 2l Diesel.
I have not long brought this car and saved it from the breakers yard.It doesn't have any MOT yet but not in a rush.My first jobs was to replace the upper rear suspension arms and springs and i was going to ask how to do it,but i looked on the forum and saw in the "How to Guide" how to get round the problems.(something to do over the Christmas break)
Now onto Rusted nuts,I have just broken 2- 17mm deep sockets trying to undo the wheel nuts with a 2 foot breaker bar.(car not being used for over 12 months)
What would be the best way of removing them?
Phil.
