Cool - the more the merrier.

I will PM you my phone number and directions.

The good news - the stuck bolt IS NO LONGER A PROBLEM. Notice I didn't say it was out, it's just not a problem. I tried every trick: torch, ice, pb blaster, flare end wrench, vise grips, dremeled a notch in it and tried to chisel it out. That nut is now part of the bolt! I just drilled out the head from the other side and popped it off. It's out off the way and totally loose, but the manifold keeps me from removing it all the way. I just have to dremel the bolt shaft on the other side to finish the extraction.

"Should" be a smooth job today - as I've had all the other bolts broken loose already.

Sounds like Eric is planning to be here 10:30 or 11 after he gets out of work.

BTW - Eric you left your hat and shades here yesterday.
