[DML] Re: MAPP gas to loosen rusted Delorean bolts?





Use it all the time on all my vehicles (I have a penchant for rescuing
cars from the rust belt). Does not get nuts cherry red like acetylene,
but usually does break them enough to turn. Be sure to run a die down
the stud first -- since nuts aren't molten they won't be able to span
crappy threads.

I removed my entire original DeLorean exhaust system without breaking
a single 10mm stud (important because I re-used the manifolds). Used a
nut splitter on the 7mm's because I didn't want to risk snapping them
in any way.
