rust bucket piece of sh*t

yeah and snap that bolt off and then have to drill it out and rethread a hole in the engine block.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

If you yank, yes. If you gradually torque it, it will back out. That's how I get everything loose on my truck.

Since you got a Coke sitting there, might as well throw some of that on there too.

I hear it eats rust.

This is actually true, you can use coke/pepsi it really does help with rusted bolts (carbonation and acids)

But yea.. spray a lubricant, try it, if not.. you pretty much gotta sledge that **** or heat it up with a propane torch. (extremeee)

this is not always true either. i've had bolts that i thought were backing out, only to find they were actually twisting off. it's a pain in the ass when that happens.

and if/when you get a bolt out... if it's a steel bolt going into something not steel (i.e. an aluminum engine block/head) PUT ANTI-SEIZE ON IT. you'll thank me later.

That is one long ground is that for your engine block ground?

The wire grounded to the alt bracket is my ground for the engine to chassis I guess.

good call it will keep it from locking up again and increase conductivity.

right? again with with the hurr durrrrrrrr.

Breaker bars work because of the spring like action you get when you jerk on it. Going 'easy' on it defeats the intended purpose.

this was my 98 escort zx2. i had one ground straight to the suspension bolt(on the right of the pic) and it is a pretty good spot to ground to on that car. then i did one straight from the alt casing on the top mounting bolt, (the best spot to ground on a car period.) then theres the alt pos. to batt, BIG 3 done!
