[QUOTE="Douglasdzaster, post: 479443, member: 27803"] Thank you everyone for the response. I was up late searching different forums etc. and the atf and acetone was mentioned a lot. I wish the bolt was vertical so it could really soak in. I’ll be mixing me some up though and replace the penetrating oil I’ve been using. My only means of heat are a propane torch or heat gun but while I’m soaking this thing I’ll ask around our small community here. The housing is on the side of the engine (not far from the carburetors fuel lines) and part of the power head itself so if I mess up (like over heating it) it’s shot. I know my anxiety is because I’ve never done it before otherwise it would probably be just another day. Lol Again I really appreciate all the advice and tips. Wish me luck. I’ll give y’all an update and let you know how it goes. [/QUOTE]
