By: 406steve Date: April 29, 2020, 12:26 pm --------------------------------------------------------- Thought I would start a thread here for workshop tips & home made tools etc doesn't have to be Unimog or M.B Trac specific but would prefer if they were relevant for either or their implements. #Post#: 8225-------------------------------------------------- Re: Workshop tips,hacks & home made tools.

Another method to stop the bolt snapping is to work it back and forth a bit, for example 1 turn out, half turn in, 1 turn out, can be time consuming but it's saved a lot of bolts in my time. *****************************************************
