    I appreciate that. I did it on the Vista Cruiser, so I'm sure I can do it on the Custom Cruiser. It's just a bit more...involved. Lol. And FAR more dirty.

    Yep, unless it was cross threaded by another it will easily twist out as the tension was relieved when the head snapped off.
    If the threads have corroded a bit from coolant exposure you'll have a couple of inches to grab onto with a vise grip plier, if it still resists use heat.

    Cow in Creek.png Warranty is worthless as tits on a bull.----------------- I would like to have one of those guys. I could sell it to Ripley's Believe it Or Not and make a fortune.
