Stripped one side of the threaded engine bolt on a lambretta. One that hasn't moved for 30 years. The nut was cracked so I tried a new bolt on it and it stripped the thread off.

So got some washers and tried a new but as the old ones had a crack in it, stripped the thread now arrrggghhh! Any other suggestions?

Brilliant thanks very much. The threads aren't great and neither are the nuts but I might be able to cut away the knackered thread just enough to get a bite. Like the spanner idea will give it a go. Il be back!

Lambretta li125. Good idea, is there a danger that I could damage something by over tightening? The threads are a bit knackered but sounds good.

Hi, time to remove the engine, I've got the two bolts off eventually but the pin is stuck, really stuck. I've used a socket extension as a drift and basically battered it for a good few hours with no movement whatsoever. A full can of wd40 has been used, I've tried heating it aswell but to no avail....

The dremel sorted it
