How do you guys in the midwest deal with the rust? This Colt came from
minnesota, and a lot of the bolts were quite rusted, thank you, and it had
spent only the first 3 or so years of its life there... It was interesting -
I was repeatedly asking myself, "if this was my LBC, what would I have to
do to get this part off?" - the Triumph was good training...

Once the damage is done a "fire-wrench" works nicely most times. The thought
has occured to me that it sure would be nice if the car manufacturers would
use never-seize on all the threads of bolts. Of course that would be expensive
and counter-productive (more people might actually try to work on their car
themselves- and keep it longer! :-)
