Re: Removal of thermo housing bolts

["Paul Heuer" <p_heuer@hotmail.com>]

Two words: Penetrene and Time.

I was having trouble getting the thermo housing off my Series 3. I soaked 
the bolts and gasket lines in Penetrene (a penetrating fluid, mostly diesel 
I'm told) and left it to soak overnight. Next day I rocked the bolts back 
and forth with the socket wrench. More Penetrene, more time and repeat. It 
worked very well for me.

Cheers,
Paul.
