KNITERIDER Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 might have been a dodgy cast. you always get some parts weaker than others...tools for instance... the amount of spanners iv broke because of poor quality...(cheap and nasty ones) may have just been a dud.

Jon_escortsi Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 It may be something to do with it been stood. I bought a cat C saxo diesel in march. Anyway i took it for 2 new tyres and the nuts were like crap!!!! Heads come straight off on 2 of them. I had to replace te hub as one was stuck in there totally. The heads just come right off with wheel brace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
