datzenmike Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 Is it the outside square head or the inny that a 1/2" drive ratchet fits? Try to get as good a grip on it as you can and heat the aluminum around it with a small propane torch. Get it smokin' hot. Aluminum expands twice that of steel so the aluminum hole will get 'bigger' when heated. If using a 1/2" ratchet head slip a short length of pipe over the handle for more leverage.If it's the square head use vice grips. Quote Link to comment
