I'm cleaning/buffing the alloy outer on my wheels in preperation of being painted on Monday, by Wicked Wheels.
On the rear wheel I have removed the disk, then I have undone the 6 14mm nuts that hold on to the internal diff/wheel drive, when I went to undo the bolts at the other end, I'm struggling with my rattle gun, I thought that it would crack them loose but they seem the same torque/tension as it's undoing so I have stopped.
Are they meant to be tight all the way out?
BTW Polishing the outer alloy and the inner thin strips on the mags sucks, tyres removed, I have a buffing wheel that goes onto my Makita 4 inch grinder and I'm chewing the shit out of it.
Cheers

did you put a spanner on the other end to stop it turning or has your rattle gone just not got enough guts? Have you got a gas axe to warm the nuts up?

Hey Paul,
The nuts came off with the rattle gun no worries, it's the long bolts on the other side that I'm talking about, the rattle gun is no slouch it has about 780 Ft-Lbs of torque, that's why I'm concerned with the slow extraction that I attempted on two bolts, drove them back in again buy hand with socket rather than rattle gun.
Could it be a case of them being lock tightened until they fully extract?

I'm pretty sure items 10 & 11 are press fit and meant to come out together as one piece

Your right Paul, it does pull out
Thanks Eddie and Geoff for the advise offline
