if you haven't soaked the nuts/studs down for a day or two, and you break one, about a week. if you have a bunch of drill bits, the right tap, a step up stud, new copper o-rings and nuts, and some rtv everything will be dandy. unless of course you don't wrap a piece of tape on the bit to keep yourself from drilling too deep. how fast can you pull and engine and a head?everyone will be very happy holding dinner because you started working on your car on easter morning. i'm not going NEAR my car today. let us know how it all works out.

Do not force those nuts off... and break them. You may need to heat them cherry red to get them off this can be very time consuming..... Good luck. Hope it works out, enjoy the drive

I've removed them in a half-hour, and replaced them in an hour or ninety minutes.

When nothing went wrong.

Believe it or not, that has actually happened once or twice!!

Use lots of PB Blaster and they will come off pretty easy. If you snap a stud they are going to be holding dinner along time.

well...... it ain't happenin'

got under the car and found out the PO had put the heating ducts together with zip ties. also found the currently rusted out exchanger on with both metric bolts and allen head bolts. i lack the proper allen head fitting. i also found that i am missing some of the heater parts. so my little project is going to keep the little money pit up on jack stands for a while.

guess that's how it goes!!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif)

I can't believe the PO didn't fix everything right! That never happens! Are you sure those are Porsche zip ties?

clips! that's what is missing from the heat exchanger system that generated the use of the zip ties! un-fucking believable! at least he could have wrapped some high temp stainless tape around or something to at least seal the system.

do people suck or is it just me...?

It's extremely frustrating to find f'd-up repairs from a PO.

But on the bright side, at least all the parts are available to fix this one, hey?
