Well the Nuts off now 3/4 socket and 1/2 " adaptor a breaker bar and trolley jack handle so a few feet leverage and no movement it all just flexes alarmingly so thought i'd get the machine mart Clarke 240V impact gun on it even if it didn't have the power to remove it hopefully the impacts would break the corrosion bonds etc so pressed the trigger and lo and behold it came off a treat:) no trouble ..... and likewise the other side :) inspected brake shoe linings 5mm so good to go :) all back together except the final torque up of the new one shot nut still to arrange :eek:
