Taking one of the nuts off, the stud broke.
I welded a nut to the end of the stud so I could get a socket on it, but she doesn't want to turn. Feels like it will break again. So I've been hitting the stud with PB Blaster. I could heat it with a torch. Hopefully it will come loose, but I may end up having to drill the thing out and tap the hole for a step stud. Grr, right before WCR (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Any suggestions? |

PB Blaster is a penetrating lubricant. One of the best.
