Bolt pain. My neighbor came to see me about a IH 160 PU water pump. It had about 1/2 inch play in the tips of the fan blade, but didn't leak. One bolt was going to twist off $ 3/8 course bolts hold it on. I was sure it was going to fail, but PB blaster, and good feel for bolt deformation compared to rotation helped. The backing and forthing for 15 minutes starting with 2 degrees, and incrementally increasing the rotation worked. The bolt head finally rounded enough to nearly strip corners, so I got a 14mm and pounded it on to the hilt. That was superior in that it was solid. The bolt head was transformed to metric. 2 pound hammer made a good impact die out of the Herbrand wrench. The bolt eventually became 20 degrees free, then 30, then 180. Each time going back to start. We then got a 14 socket on it when it cleared an obstruction. The pump unscrewed from the block (the water pump was flopping as the force was applied. The bolt had rusted into the water pump housing and was bound there, not in the threads. The housing is about 1.75 inches thick where the bolt was located. He now is arranging for 24 Summit Extra Pale Ales delivered. Jim
