How the fuck do I get this bastard undone?? Ive soaked it in WD40, ive tried heating it but the bitch wont undo. Ive gotta get this sorted so i can get out of this Shite-Hole town as the cars been off the road for almost 2 weeks now and i cant go anywhere.

Its starting to REALLY piss me off now, lost my temper with it just now and the bumper even more damaged then it was before

well, grrrr. Its so fuckin tight, im knackered now where ive been trying to undo it. Almost passed out earlier i was straining that hard to undo it and went bright red in the face. Might have to give it a miss for tonight and have another go in the morning I wanna drive the bitch.

Cheers Adam. I'll have another go tomorow.

Get someone to help you, one person can hold the adjustable wrench whilst you undo the nut
