TW 190 in feed blade bolts!

[simonm]

Trying to replace the in feed roller blades on my tw 190, i have had loads of wd40 on the bolts holding them in place numerous bars, going to try heating them up tomorrow. Anybody else had problems removing the bolts? is there an easy way of getting them all out?

Changed mine myself, same thing with me struggled like hell to get them loose but once I'd used heat they soon came off. Make sure some loctite is used when putting them back on as well.

Just a few hundred degrees will degrade the loctite.
