Removing style 5 bolts

[gnarlycreature]

So far I have managed to remove the nuts and clean only portions of the wheel. I want to just spray on the stripper, and start polishing so badly.
I can't get the bolts out though. I have tried to hammer and rubber mallet and took a 2x4 to them. I used a nail countersink but that didn't work either.
I don't want to damage the bolts

mmmmm hammer them more

I used wood studs, with cotton on the end, and a 20lb sledge. Worked fine, destroyed a lot of wood though.

I keep the nut finger tight on the end of my bolts, then use a punch through the nut (which keeps the punch on the end of the bolt) with a rubber mallet.

wd40, rubber mallet, it will come out! and when you do i hope you polish them! dont worry about it, just get them bitches out!

Man I love style 5's, I sold my set refinished like 10 months ago, can't find any emails from when I sold them. I wanna know what they went on.

i had to re thread some of my bolts theres really no easy way of doing it

[Rehab]

damn I'm jealous! I wish i had some style 5's to be bitching about

I got one out, and it looked horrible. I know now why they aren't budging, super oxidized, FTL. I am definetly polishing them, I used to work at a granite shop so polishing is my thing. The nail punch kept sliding off. The nut idea sounds like it might work. I basically hammered wood onto the bolts, rubber malleted. 1 bolt 79 to go

How did you re-thread your bolts?

I used the pb blaster + center punch routine to get my bolts out.

How are you guys polishing the bolts?

[KR98E36]

How did you re-thread your bolts?

I used the pb blaster + center punch routine to get my bolts out. I messed up a couple of threads on some of the bolts that I am going to have to fix.

How are you guys polishing the bolts?

I have a metric rethreading toolset, i used a 7mm x1.
