Mark Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Event everyone I’m after a bit of advice, I tried to take side plates of heat exchanger, took the through bolts of and the plate is solid, does it need a good wallop with mallet or is it threaded??

JonC Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Did you post this up on Facebook under another name? I read a similar thing a couple of days ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yours looks kind of like mine with a single bolt through the middle. On my Yanmar the plate needed a bit of gentle persuasion with a rubber mallet to get it unstuck. if you do tap it a few times, I take no responsibility for the result, unless it’s a good one!

Dermot McCarthy Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Th bolt should thread all the ways out. It should thread free from the tubestack inside. The cover is seperate and should come free with a gentle tap with a piece of wood and a hammer. Andy135 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saintly Fish Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 So, @Mark how did you get on with this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted December 17, 2020 Author Share Posted December 17, 2020 All fixed now thanks to everyone’s advice, the thread was completely shot so ended up putting a stainless threaded bar straight through heat exchanger with a nut and washer either end better than original design 👍 Saintly Fish and Andy135 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
