Pulling out a bull bar... !?
« on: November 04, 2007, 10:32:26 »
Someone last night while we was shopping, pulled up in the space in front of us and stalled or something, just smacked in to us, reshaped his transit and pushed in one side of the bull bar on ours. How hard is it and how can I pull it out? I've tryed to tug it but theres no way I'm moving it a wee bit at all.  :?

Tie it to a substantial tree and back away in low box.

Smash the drivers head against it repeatedly, until all traces of the dent are gone.  :twisted:  :twisted:  :twisted:  :twisted:

get a piece of solid timber, that will fit behind, rope this to a tree/solid obect so it pulls straight..

get someone COMPETANT (most SWMBO will not be!) :twisted: to watch carefully, as it will spring back a bit once load is removed..

position you vehicle carefully to consider where the "pivot" in the pull will be, ie, where the tubees are bent.. probably at the abar part.

good luck!

and protected no claims or not it still ends up costing you for years afterwards if you make any sort of claim.
