A few beers and a bit of work
« 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. If there is anyone that wants a beer or two or wants to work on thier car I have tools, TC card and a limited amount of space so your more than welcome :y

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.
