No P38s were sold here with a dual exhaust so it may be a European reg.

Could be, Scott.

I remember Wayne writing this:

I had a terrible time with the top bolt on my 93. The thread was corroded and I'd rounded the bolt. Dad got it undone by hammering a larger imperial allen keyin there, and pouring boiling water down some pipe onto the nut for at least half an hour. Man was I relieved! !!

When I had everything apart in the p38 I took both state bolts out and put antisieze on them.

Hi

A good selection of wobble bars helps as well

Did you guys read my transmission removal thread i had the same issue.

I tell ya, if i find the guy that invented loctite, i will fair and squarly thump him one. Its the worst invention ever, trying undo a bolt is an absolute nightmare, and there's no need for it, you do not need to glue bolts. If anything, WD40 is the go.

They use the blue Loctite on the Panhard rod bolts. Even when you "crack" the seal they are still near on impossible to remove. The nut and bolt are even warm from the friction when removed! I much prefer Nylok nuts. Redandy3575, when you've finished with Mr Loctite, pass him over I'll take over round 2 ;).
