Re: Bernie's u-bolt saga.
yeah.
Like I said way back early in the thread. You'll need to replace the u bolts.
The next one might be easier not that the others have released the pressures.

Well done Bernie. not so hard - eh.
When in town, pick up a tube of anti-sieze. and put it above the threads when inserting the new U bolts.

Re: Bernie's u-bolt saga.
When you think...it was built I 988 and never had the U bolts removed before.
I'll take the risk.

Re: Bernie's u-bolt saga.
Bernie, its beer o'clock. Enjoy it. You appear to have earned it. I'd still be putting anti seize on the new Ubolts, even if you don't plan on taking 'em out.
