Purple Tractor Posted November 6, 2017 Report Share Posted November 6, 2017 What kind of wrench do I need to get the 5th wheel plate off this Volvo? The head end of the bolt looks round and the other looks like an axle nut cone. 2008 Volvo 670,D13, 13 speed,2018 Montana 3210MS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad & Jacolyn Posted November 6, 2017 Report Share Posted November 6, 2017 Are you sure it is a bolt and not a plastic push in rivet that just pops out?

GeorgiaHybrid Posted November 6, 2017 Report Share Posted November 6, 2017 They are huck bolts and unless you want to buy the special tools to remove them (collar cutters), a torch or cutoff wheel is the easiest way to take them off. Just split the collar on each side and use a hand or air chisel to finish taking off the collar. The bolt will knock out after that. 2017 Kenworth T6802015 DRV 38RSSA Elite Suites2016 Smart Prime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runaway parents Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 Try heavy duty socket 3/4 inch breaker bar and a 6 foot piece of 11/4 inch pipe for a cheeter bar . it will break them loose or break them off. If that don't work split them with a cut wheel on a penut grinder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way to get a huck bolt off is to break the collar by splitting it or cutting it. For a look at how they are installed, take a look at two animations. One is for a bulb type huck bolt and the other is for a cone style collar. 2017 Kenworth T6802015 DRV 38RSSA Elite Suites2016 Smart Prime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runaway parents Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 Have had truck for three years. been that long ago since I removed the commercial fifth wheel don't recal exact size of socket. But I do remember I cracked a couple of sockets before I went to a heavy duty socket. Took about 2 hours to remove hitch.I don't own a torch .Just a socket, breaker bar, 6ft pipe, and a cut wheel.

Scrap Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 Use a 22 and a 30 deep socket for the 13 & 16 sizes if I remember right. But that is for the old Huck-Fit. Those noisy friggen things finally left my life in 2006. The Bobtails (the rivet head ones) you gotta slice as close as you can on the collar (nut) flange. Don't use a plasma. If there is water between the collar and the bolt will f-up your torch bad. Cost me a bunch of $. Huck-Fit collar: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandyA Posted November 8, 2017 Report Share Posted November 8, 2017 We call them a "Blue tipped wrench". AKA - Oxygen/Acetylene with cutting tip. Just watch that hot slag doesn't land on an air line.
