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? |

Back on the road. The new studs held up to torque and no leaks. Whew.
The one step-stud that's a little on the short side turned out to be just long enough... All the threads are engaged with one to spare. Drove it to the office and back today. Going to re-torque and head out to Issaquah. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |
