Might also be a good time to introduce it to an impact wrench and socket. You know the routine, introductions, a little WD 40, close contact, and you never know what may happen.
Seriously, WD 40 (or liquid wrench) and an impact wrench can remove a lot of bolts and nuts that you would never have dreamed could be removed. The shock of the impact wrench tends to break loose the rust in the threads without damaging the head of the bolt. If it breaks off, then problem also solved.

Some of these former Navy folks have some real answers to stuck/rusty bolts. Seems I saw wintergreen oil & Kroil oil mentioned. I found Kroil & used it. Works great. I like it better than WD 40 for penetrating oil.

Thanks everyone.
Got too busy with work so I haven't gotten to it yet.
Would have been nice to have an impact wrench. I did recently purchase a nice long solid wrench that you use to attach sockets to. I bought it and an 18mm socket so I can get the rear wheel adjusted. Earlier some of you guys suggested the reason my tire was getting scraped on the left side was because it was in crooked. I have not been able to get that bolt off. So now with this huge wrench that I can stand on and use my weight to get it of, I might actually be able to get the darn thing off. Hope that $25.00 bit of iron is gonna be worth its money!

That's a very appropriate name for it! You can definitely break something (or someone
) with it!

AND if you get a piece of pipe and slide it on the breaker bar, you can break even more things too.
Maybe we should have a "Glossary" topic in the tech section. Might help clear up the meanings of "thingie" and "do-hickey" too.

For future reference when searching for exhaust leaks:
Disconnect the petcock vacuum line at the petcock. Start the engine (it will run for a short time on the gas sitting in the float bowl). Let the vacuum tube suck a little Sea Foam into the intake tract.
Shut 'er down. Reconnect the vacuum line to the petcock. Wait about five minutes. Start 'er back up. There will be lots of smoke coming out of the exhaust. If you have an exhaust leak, you will see some smoke coming from the leaky area. To help things along, you can partially plug the end of the exhaust pipe with a rag to try to force some smoky exhaust our of the leaky area.
IHTH someone!
