Very good. If the same processes were undertaken in the UK the health and safety guys would have a field day :roll: They were in 60s and early 70s no body bothered too much, hence knackered hip, knees and back. Lifted many of those truck cylinder heads without help :roll: Used to stand along side t...

Re: Difficult bolt removal.

Could you weld a nut over the bolt then use the nut to bring the bolt out, the heat from the weld should not effect the panel but if worried put wet cloths around it before welding.
