As I am rapidly approaching 200,000 mi. I figured it was time to
seal up and freshen up the ole girl. My lower intake seams to be
seeping at the front corners, I know big surprise. But I have had
those front 2 bolts bite me in the tail on my mustangs before and
wondered if anybody had a tip or trick to getting those out without
breaking them off in the head. Should I just cut the heads off, pull
the intake and use a stud remover? Or is there a better way?
 






i find using an impact gun and penetrant lessens the chance of breaking things.
