I just watched the video and I think I saw a human being with three hands. I only have two so I would first mount the manifold in a vise or clamp it to the table. I believe all that movement hindered the bolt removal. I have the newer type wrench but can not exert enough pressure with my old hands to use it properly. I would have used a small pipe wrench and, yes, vise grips. I made a small EDM just for this reason. I just had a gentleman that wanted me to come to his house, sit on the ground in 90 deg temperature and 80% humidity, using his portable drill and dull bit, to try to remove a broken head bolt in a lawn mower, as he had already tried and failed, because the customer would not pay to remove the engine and bring it to my shop. I surveyed the situation and returned to my AC shop without the engine. John, do you remember the three different methods Mr. Polish used? |
