The dread washer-bucket rivnut thing hasn't come up on the list for awhile, so it is a good time for a reminder: If you are removing these bolts for the first time, it is a very good idea to spray a lot of penetrating oil up there before you even try to loosen them. Given the consequences of failure, I recommend spraying repeatedly for several days before proceeding. Once they've been off, you are unlikely to have problems in the future, but you only get one shot at a first removal, so take it easy. If this advice is too late for you, I wonder if maybe some kind of in- line pump installed upstream (like under the dash) might be an alternative. Just a thought.... --Pete Lucas VIN #06703 On Apr 4, 2007, at 1:31 PM, Hank wrote: > Ken -- how would that compare to replacing the wiper *washer* pump? > > Mine stopped working last year, and the nuts holding the bucket on > are all > rusted. > > I can't get in there to remove the nuts, they have to be cut off. > Then new > rivnuts need to be installed.
