Message	I tried the double nut deal and failed because the threads stripped on the nut I used to turn, I also tried penetrating oil, a pipe wrench (monkey wrench) which basically tightens grip as you turn- the threads crumbled off, I tried 3 vise grips all clamped as hard as I could and turn all at the same time, all of them spun around. I tried heat and some of those other methods over again. Finally I welded a bead and just clamped one vise grip and voila no issues. Ever since that experience I've been welding those studs and it works like a charm. *disclaimer*: all that I say may be true or I may be completely wrong and I accept that.... please, it is your duty as another person on the internet to impolitely tell me how wrong I am :) "The dreaded 2nd windshiled wiper swipe when you turn it off its almost like tis showing you that it's boss, and it doesn't have to stop when you tell it to :("-College Boy (discussion on ptu relocation) "No good reason to put it there anyway. -Bernie (NoVA) False -vorpalZ False. -Bernie (NoVA) You're correct, there are 3 good reasons -vorpalZ False. -Bernie (NoVA) Wow, right again, just remembered another, make that 4 -vorpalZ" XD
