As topic, Ive Just bought a boot lid with a Lucus WFT576 attached, Im really struggling, the nut is siezed solid & there isn't anything to grab onto at the other end (below), Ive soaked it in oil and tried allsorts, ideally I dont want to destroy either part.

Cut the nut off if probibly going to be your best bet On 26th Oct, 2004 TurboDave16v said:
Is it A-Series only? I think it should be... So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'... On 26th Oct, 2004 Tom Fenton said:

Is it possible to partially tap the side you're trying to remove the nut, thread a bolt in, and use that as a means to put a spanner on to prevent it from spinning and get move leverage on? On 26th Jan, 2012 Tom Fenton said:
ring problems are down to wear or abuse but although annoying it isn't a show stopper On 5th Aug, 2014 madmk1 said:
