As some of you know i have headers on the way... so today i went out to soak the bolts in PB blaster in hopes of getting them out without breaking any.. well, one is already broken! the fucken head just fell off, i didnt even touch it- it was just pinched between the heat shield. it looks like its been that way for awile since its all rusty where it fell off.
i also broke one of the bolts off of the shield and stripped 2, they are so rusty that there was hardly even any head left...
so... i would like to get some ideas on how to get these ******** off without having to **** with any more broken bolts. there is a lot of shaft left on the one that is already broken, so if i cant get it with a vice grips i will probably weld a nut onto it so i can get a good bite
any other ideas other than taking it slow and using LOTS of penetrating oil? i will back them out, spray them, turn them back in, back them out... etc.. but was wondering if anyone else had any idears?? i should be able to heat them, right?
also, the pacesetter LT's come with bolts dont they?
thanks!
