Stuck Wheel Bolt

[Smitty]

Okay. so how about something very lightly used then? Less than 500 miles on this '17 HiJet that's now left over..

And since you live in some sort of city, it should be ideal. Easy to park, easy on fuel, etc. Plus, when she gets home from shopping, the hydraulic dump bed will speed up the unloading process. View attachment 61467

The epitome of utility. Flashy! Won’t see another of those around. 😂

How long is the bed? I'm dead serious.

It's six feet, so longer than a TRX's. And the 700-lb. load capacity isn't all that far behind a TRX, either.

Umm, here you do. At least two of them.
Like so many other vehicles, we have a his and hers. The one for sale is hers.

If it was 12 I would have made an offer on it

Does it have the 3 cyl Suzuki in it?

It's supposedly a Toyota engine. But I won't hold that against it.

I have one of these, its a Suzuki brand. Handiest thing since they put pockets on a shirt ! worth every penny they cost on a farm.

Agree. Mine's a 2008 (I think) that I found in Texas. No A/C, P/S, etc., but it works fine for me.

Never did get around to register it, but then I also only drive it to the post office...and other somewhat nearby places. Other than that it gets driven (and enjoyed) around the house.
It's one of the smarter purchases I've made. but that's not saying much.

Mine is a 1996, it has the dump bed, AC, stereo radio with cassette player. I have hauled 1,500 pounds of seed and fertilizer on this with ease. and many deer from down in the woods. LOL. great hunting rig.

I pulled the fuse for the radio in mine. Don't care much for Japanese music.

God when was it. Some time at the end of the 80s a friend had a 200sx which was one of the first cars that would talk to you. Know some japanese among other things so went down to Nissan and ordered the japanese part number. Swapped it in and let everyone listen to the chick ask you to fasten your seat.belt in japanese.

Didn't think about swapping out the stereo so we could listen to it in japanese too...

So @AeroF16 did you guys get the bolt out? Inquiry minds want to know. 🧐

Nope. I told him to buy a 1/2” drive deep well extractor set. It showed up yesterday but I was leaving town, so couldn’t help. He tried it himself and said the new extractor kit wasn’t biting as well as the old 3/8” set we were using. The 3/8” set we were using wasn’t deep well, which means we had to use an adapter, and we snapped 5 of them haha.

He’s throwing in the towel and taking it to a shop that’ll weld a socket on and break it free.

Good to hear.

Hopefully the wheel will be ok but sometimes you have to damage 1 thing to fix something else.

Good luck to him.

Once that is done it will likely twist off, then they will have to drill it out anyway. The jackass that put it in probably cross threaded it with an impact wrench. it may as well be welded in at this point..

The agony of defeat. 🤬

He just called me to say that they had zero success with the welding option as well. Think they’re going to attempt to drill it out now.

 

[Hickster]

Again just shoot it and move on. Weld em all and sell the car.

Damn pilots they think they know everything 😁
