One Bolt...

[Steve Jensen]

Seems like it is always one bolt that decides to make your life difficult.
When I pulled the tranny from the 5ktq parts car, one bolt decided it wasn't
giving up without a fight and it took a total of five hours to pull it.
Loctite red, the Monkey Lad's friend.  Grind, squirt, torque.  Grind,
squirt, torque.  Grrrr....

Well, I met one bolt's brother this weekend, he lived at the other end of
the drive shaft at the diff end wearing the ever so stylish Loctite red.
Did I mention the car is jacked up on one side so the one wheel is spinning
freely?  Had to put a 32mm socket on the rear axle bolt then push on the
allen bit.  Like playing Twister with tools.  Got all his brothers removed
except two, frustration sets in.

Make a phone call to Bill Magliocco, he's here in 15 minutes and has the
d*mned bolts out in another 20.  Driveshaft out with minimal cussing/blood.

I hereby nominate Bill for the "Huw Powell/Nate Stuart Lister To The Rescue
Award" for helping me out.  Thanks, Bill.
