(or get garage to apply heat)





When you say "heat", Hal, how much are we talking? Industrial strength, or will a simple butane-powered blowlamp do it?

:unsure: not sure I had my manservant do it on a ramp :laugh:

Not sure I'd care to lie under the truck with a blow torch though, and don't think the missus would lend me her hairdryer :S
