British Birds? That cannot be offensive.

Bird? I don't see no bird

 

[halifaxhops]

I did but I can't get the dang Bumper bolts out. I may buy new and use the hot wrench

Mine were the persuader 3/4 drive set. Hows the tank inside?

[halifaxhops]

Here are a few for thought

The tank is full of Varnish. And I lost all the gas over the year so it was dry inside. I aim to get some mineral Spirits as OMR suggested and just let it lay around soaking for awhile to cut it. I am really pleased how good of shape the car is underneath

Reminds me of when we used to throw alka seltza to the seagulls. Birds cannot fart so the energy has to go somewhere!

I got them started but then they just spin and I can't get them the rest of the way off.

Cool! Mineral spirits works great. No rust in it? That is surprising.

Oh boy Hops I see PITA on your door now

 

[halifaxhops]

Hey it was before pita in international waters on the back of the ship. Had to pass time somehow.

It was a friendly bird!

 

[ScampMike]

Tike - why not take it off via the brackets? then you will have better access to the inside of the bumper and you'll be able to use the weight of the bumper to push against the bumper bolt heads to keep them in place..

Yep and once you get the nut 1/4" off the keep spinning.

I was thinking of doing that.

 

[halifaxhops]

I took a piece of flat stock with a 3/8 hole and welded the head of the bolt on it through the hole. Crude but worked! Could not get vice grips on it. If you need a welder I have a 110 you can borrow.

 

[halifaxhops]

Mine sucked I have the shock absorbers so there is no room really. Took a few beers to figure that one out but no bumper was harmed.

Laid! Hell, I'd be happy with a handy at this point!
