[Vwdiesel] Pressure plate bolts?

[Bud]

Thanks for the input all.  I just went out and put penetrating oil on
them.  I'll give them a whack in the morning.  They're 17mm bolts.

If that doesn't work my buddy said he'll come over with his truck
(commercial welding rig) and we'll use the compressed air and gun to
get them off.

I'm used to working on aircraft and I'm an 800# gorilla, so I tend to
be cautious when I work on everything anymore.  My next best friend is
a torque wrench.  I once hand torqued (plus or minus probably 50#)
bolts onto a bleed air duct flange on a jet engine.  Only problem was
I stripped all the threads and didn't realize it till I was done.  Of
course I had to fix my own mistake.
