Post by: Elite Pete on 27 July 2007, 19:49:47
Next weekend wifey is off to Londinium to see a show and have a girlies weekend (or so she says) and she has trusted me with the house so Timbuk is coming over on the Friday/Saturday and im doing my exhaust manifold gasket.

Heating with a gas torch also works sometimes, but you have to watch you don't set the car on fire ;D ;D Its all about breaking the corrosion that has formed between the nut and the stud. Shock, Heat, Plusgas, WD40, a Big Hammer etc sometimes work.
