I'm trying to change the wheels on my power feed and the alan key type bolts that hold them on are stuck fast . I've managed to change one of the wheels but the other two just wont budge . I've had to stop as the alan key is starting to strip the hole and i'm loosing my rag with it  I've tried shocking it , giving the bolt a turn both ways,sprayed degreaser on it , shouted at it , sworn at it and kicked it and finally telling it to go f**k its self and walking away from it . I'm just about to really teach it a lesson and go to the pub !!! Any ideas ? |

try soaking it overnight with common or kitchen vinegar. like what you put on yer chips. or if nothing else, coke. somehow you are trying to break the "seal" paul  |

If the capscrew heads are proud you may be able to grip the outside of them with a stud extractor (socket set type). If all else fails drill the heads off then the remains will probably come out easily.

PS got the spanners out myself today since the tilting spindle screw on the Hammer has dropped in bits into the sawdust!

wrap kitchen towel soaked in vinegar around it where possible, or use a silicon sealer round the screw and pour vinegar into it ;D or just leave the chips around as you normally do  paul |

Is there any sign of threadlock on the one you got off?
If so, definitely heat.
In fact, torch the workshop and retire to the pub. That'll sort it out.

Turning the air blue is obviously the answer.

£100 for 3 wheels seems a lot. I think i paid £40 for a set of 3 for mine. They have not been on long and i've already caught the middle wheel with a rebate block jon |

I'm not sure i would say avoid it but its a Junior Europa . Italian . Its a good solid bit of kit so the wheels being three times the price of the cheaper ones is the price you pay i suppose .
