Intermediate shaft carrier bolts

[m4tti]

Want to change the power steering belt on my tuscan as it so frayed I'm guessing its the original.

The intermediate shaft bearing carrier bolts seem Pretty seized. I'm concerned about giving them too much welly. What's the likely hood of these shearing or are they decent fixings.

Any one applied heat to these bolts to free them up.

Here's the answer I guess. Any one else chopped away at the carrier

Impact driver to free any corrosion after leaving them over night in wd40?

Worked for me

Good call Neill I'll give that a shot too before getting the wood chisels out.

I really don't why they didn't go for a stud, nut and washer?

Have just had a look at the impact driver and its going to be tricky to whack it on that top one. Theres not much room to swing a club hammer. Apart from the chiselling I guess I could try and soak it for a few days.
