Pin spanner / holes was the first thing I tried. No chance...
I'm going to stick with the pilot holes / caustic soda for now. I considered dripping the sulphuric into the axle itself to see if I could then stop the rot before it got to the threads; but don't want it to go horribly wrong so opted to save that stuff for the last resort- The guy did warn me that any slight drop of water would F#ck it like a Gremlin...
As to acid in the 80's... Heh heh heh... Microdots were better.
