Message: [QUOTE="JetExpress_6.7, post: 1432456, member: 25258"] The other trick I used: when I went to take them out we let the truck sit all night and let everything cool completely off. When they still wouldn't budge after more spray, I took a bernzomatic and heated the exhaust manifold [U]underneath[/U] the bolt/pipe flange, trying to keep as much heat away from the bolt as possible. The only way heat works in your favor is if [B]one[/B] object is hot and the other is cold, that's the greatest advantage you will have. If both are hot or both are cold, they will grow or shrink together and gain you nothing. But get one of them hot to grow (ideally the hole the bolt is going into) and leave the other cold, now you've got yourself a little wiggle room. [/QUOTE]
