Re: The "Wrecker"

Did a little something this weekend.

Worked in the front brake lines and prop valve.



Pulled the intake and sat a dual plane in place.

My motto is "one step at a time is progress". That's definitely true in this case.

I received CaptainFab booster brackets today.

Trying to remove the nut. After the initial failed attempt I used a little heat and PB blaster then hit it a few times with a cold chiesel. It didn't budge. I will let it soak over night. With all the oil that covers the entire unit I'm thinking soaking won't help since it's been soaking for years.

I just went out and tried again after letting it soak over night and it broke loose. Maybe I can get it mounted this weekend. Trick-or treat tonight.
