help loosening bolts

[wkdteg]

wasnt really sure where to put this thread... mods feel free to move to appropriate section.

anyway... i recently bought new seats (4th gen prelude) to fit in my DA9.
as most of you are aware, these seats came with a seat belt indicator (as seen in the pics), to notify the driver if the seat belts are connected. the wiring for these are connected to the actual seat belt fastener, which in turn are connected to the seat.

i want to get rid of these and just use what i have in the DA9, as they dont match up to the seat belts already in the car. (i.e. theyre useless).

however, the bolts are sprayed with some sort of lock tight, which makes them imposible to loosen (which is the point duh!). does anyone know if there is a way to take them off? ive thought about drilling them out, but i dont want to damage anything.
thanks in advance
cheers

You need bigger arms

Some WD40 might help.

breaker bar perhaps?

[vinnY]

also make sure to shock the bolt off(hit the breaker bar) don't put constant force on it as it might round the bolt

[bennjamin]

use a breaker bar or similar - leverage will help 100% .

Also , use a 6 sided socket piece do NOT USE MULTI FACETED SOCKETS - much more chance of slipping and rounding the bolt head.

Like bennjamin said, invest in a 6 sided socket. I would personally just buy an impact gun socket. They are sold individually. You would be suprised how much additional leverage can be applied if the socket is appropriate for your application. Adding a breaker bar to the end of the socket wrench will surely get the nut/bolt off.

yes, single hex sockets are one of the best investments I have ever made - does not promote nut/bolt rounding.

They cost me $1 each from the loose sockets box but they saved me a helluva headache. Bunnings/Kmart.

I combined them with a breaker bar and I can get off pretty much any suspension bolt from the car. Same can apply for you.

impact hammer with socket i think its called. Then it should come off all good.
