TRY SOME "PB BLASTER" AND FOLLOW DIRECTIONS. TIGHTEN THE NUTS, JUST A LITTLE, AFTER THE PB HAS BEEN ON THE CORRECT TIME, AND I WOULD BE SURPRISED IF IT DID NOT WORK. I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO DESTROY MY A/C EVAP. IN MY CHEROKEE TRYING TO REMOVE THE HIGH SIDE HOSE, AND WAS TOLD TO DO THE SAME THING I AM TELLING YOU-- AND , MAN IT WORKED LIKE A CHARM!JERRY, '81 FSFrom: "Tom Scott" <shelbyguy@xxxxxxx> Date: 2006/08/20 Sun PM 02:18:26 EDT To: <mailing-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: IML: 1960 gas tank removal...advice wantedI went out this morning to replace the gas tank on my 60 4dr with a real nice replacement tank I purchased from Lowell Howe ( Imperial Saviour extrordinaire!!) I have been soaking the studs/nuts with penetrating oil for about 2 days now. Didn't matter, can't get the nuts off. I tried a nut buster, but not enough room to get it in position. If I put too much torque on the not, the mounting brackets that are welded onto the frame start twisting. I don't want to break those tabs off. Can anyone comment on the path of least resistance? I think my options are:1- cut the straps 2- cut the studsI don't know what's easier to get replace, the studs or the straps. I'm sure somebody has been down this road before.Thanx Tom 60 Crown Southampton.----------------- http://www.imperialclub.com ----------------- This message was sent to you by the Imperial Mailing List.
