Gary Ramadei is working on the rear end and I should have it by late April. (Great Rear End Man) lol
What started as a stuck plug has changed into a Under body restoration.
First the plug would not come out, then the rear end blew, and before you know it project creep.
Well I finally got the plug out. I had to remove the welded muffler pipe and header pipe, and after many failed attempts, I used an Irwin stripped bolt remover socket. I heated the plug, I put penetrate on it, I froze it.
I had to remove the pipe to be able to hammer on the socket, once on, I could use the long ratchet to remove it. Out it came see photos.
The #4 body mount bolt is the one that has me working hard.
Got the parts out of car
Car ready for additional work
Seats have to go
Here I go..and it came out
See the plug and socket
Now fun with # 4 body mount
Cleaned up a bit
