Message	Next time you have a rusted stud with a nut on it, Soak with penetrating oil, Take a new nut the same size, Run it over the threads up to the old nut a few times on and off, This will clean the threads up so the old nut can come off with ease. It looks like most of them came loose then locked up and broke the studs, above will prevent that from happening. I would suck monkey balls to get my Z black... (n/m) - scottyfender 02/22/08 23:14:01
