I ran across an ad for this stuff (haven't tried it yet), it may be a good idea to keep a can handy for next time:

I finally got round to buying a nice new T40 bit to replace my tired old one, and a can of Canned Air.

By using the can upside-down to freeze the bolts, I could get them out with only the torque of a ratchet screwdriver, whereas previously even a 10" bar wouldn't move them before the bit cammed out.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

  • Rennlist: 1 discussions

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

1 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

Outcome without a verified action link

Glad you got that fixed.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I've had a set of lowering mounts for about three months now, but I couldn't fit them to my GT3 seats due to some recalcitrant Torx bolts. I finally got round to buying a nice new T40 bit to replace my tired old one, and a can of Canned Air. Ta-Da! By using the can upside-down to freeze the bolts, I could get them out with only the torque of a ratchet screwdriver, whereas previously even a 10" bar wouldn't move them before the bit cammed out. I drove to work this morning in my newly-lowered seat, relishing my ability to see the top of the rev-counter for the first time. Track days should also be a lot more comfortable!

POST 2Original post

Glad you got that fixed. I know how frustrating that can be. Been there, done that. I ran across an ad for this stuff (haven't tried it yet), it may be a good idea to keep a can handy for next time: http://www.crcindustries.com/auto/content/fzo.aspx

That looks like good stuff to have, especially with the free first can!
