Got Committed

[Ebme Geek]

At the weekend I decided while I have the rad off it's the time to sort my exhaust studs,  seen a few posts about this and bean absolutely dreading it.  Been soaking in plus gas since i started the other bits, tried undoing one that would be relatively easy to drill out, did not like the feel of it  :eek !!!!  Tried a nut splitter, but what had looked like a washer was a flange and part of the nut, so tool could not be held straight to cut the thickest bit, so that was that  :rolleyes .  Had seen that Tilts had cut his with a Dremel, decided this was the way to go - cut deep into the clamp plate to get through the flange part, fiddly on some the 600 has an extra member across the frame, used a flex drive to get at the worst. Small cold chissel to crack the last of the thread and to start Knocking them round. Worked well, just fiddly, all off stainless steel nuts on with a bit of copper slip    already for a stainless exhaust .... soon
