Did a TC drop on my '91 last week and it literally took 5 minutes. Evidently the rust holding the nut onto the stud was stronger than the rust holding the stud in place!! :laugh:
Now, my '97 is a different story - basically rust free minus muffler. So, the nut came right off the stud. I bought two nuts and put them on the stud and tried to loosen just the top nut, but with enough force, both nuts will turn. Then, just the top nut started to turn, but it was b/c it was eating away at the stud's threads!!! Wasn't this method suppose to work or did i miss something?? (Yes, I soaked w/ PB blast for a couple of hrs beforehand). I wish I had a welder so I could just tack weld a nut on, but that's not an option...
