re: exhust manifold

I usually get out the WD40 or any other kind of dissolvant that will break loose those bad boys and save yourself some pain. Spray it - let is soak at least an hour and spray it again - repeat, then after about a day, go at it, but don't kill yourself.

If you're using the old ram horns like im used to, you will more than likely be able to break them free, but just be careful. If you find that the WD40 doesnt work, try something a little stronger.

Hope everything works out.

HEY PJ: If you live close to a Sears store they sell a socket that is designed to grip rounded and rusted bolts. I bought a whole set of wrenches and sockets from them that do just that....GOOD LUCK....DAVE
