when I was getting ready to do upper ball jlints, and awaiting delivery of special socket to unthread them,.i was hitting the seam with PB blaster daily.
Day 2 i went in with a strong light and glasses, then used a dental pic kn the seam, then wire brushed it, and it seemed that subsequent squirts of ob blaster were sucked into the seam.
when i got the socket on it, with 3 foot breKer bar, i was e xpecting to have to but out 6' breKer bar, but soon as i leaned back, it busted loose and i fell over. the threads inside were all wet with PB blaster.
However E manifold bolts are a nightmare. I refuse to touch mine.again after breaking an ez out inside one back on 06 or so.
Wirebrush the heads and see if a metric socket can fit tighter than fractional, and if one snaps, can you get a drill in there?
