Hey Gents,
In the “well this isn’t fun category” (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) I’m taking the tin’s off my 1.8... (Who’s bright idea was it to use flat head screws?) So far, the ones going into the block are frozen...Should I apply heat? On the exposed ones, a little nut buster and some heat they came right off, I’ve tried tapping with a hammer and a screwdriver, to no avail.... But, I’m apprehensive about using heat with ones that go into the block? Should I be? As always, thanks in advance... |

Heat yes,small butane torch,I undo the chewed out ones a larger pair of vicegrips on the head,when reassembling run a 6mm plug tap down the threads to clean up,I find this works best on the tin pieces with captive nuts.
Good luck. |
