Can anyone help? Whoever owned the van before me has rounded off the nuts on two of the corner steadies. It is an old van and the steadies are welded to the frame, can I replace the threaded bolt and if so does anyone know the procedure and where to get them from. Any help or ideas appreciated

you could always get someone to weld bolt head on to the end and just get a socket to fit that ------------- Paul and Lou

Have you enquired about replacement drive screws for the steadies? I am sure that suitable parts would be available somewhere; it's just a case of tracking them down.

you could also fit a socket on each nut in the same way.knock on the socket as a correct but tight fit.drill fit a split pin all the way through the nut and socket.you can then use a square bar socket brace to wind the legs up and down.prevent rust with WD40.half inch at the rear of the socket not quarter size.

Hi try and drill a hole through from the side and slip a pin or old nail through it so it sticks out both ends then hacksaw a slot in your socket end so the pin locates into the slot
