Steadies

[Jagtazman]

My steadies are knackered, tried to clean in situ and still have to use hammer to get them down. So i tried to remove them today without sucess. Will either attempt to clean whilst off the van or replace.
Any suggestion how to loosen bolts without going to a garage and asking them to remove.
Wd40 not doing anything rusted tight atm

Soak in WD40 or any other releasing fluid, leave over night, Next day should see movement.

Get a decent rust penetrating oil. WD40 is not that.

Can't you unbolt from the chassis ?

Heat them up with blowlamp that's what a garage will do

If serious heat doesn't work (personally I reckon those pictures are way beyond penetrating oil), you're still in a good position. This is because you can get to the nut. Get a decent breaker bar on there and you'll probably snap the bolt, which is a good thing. If you can't get enough torque onto the bolt or nut to break them, you seem to have access to dremel cut the nut off (or use those nut breakers, depending on which tool you have easier access to).

I've fitted two flaps made from some pvc type tarp with a strip of foamex to weight them and keep them straight in front of my steadies to keep the road crud off, works well, much easier to deploy.

Honestly i'd just angle grind that off, recycle it and replace if required.
