So... having grown weary of the routine of epoxying back on the studs for the rear hatch trim, I've decided to splurge for new. In taking off the old noticed the two rear-most nuts and bolts for the wing were completely rusted on.

 

One I got off with the impact driver, the other, even after days of PB-Blast soaking, I had to cut off with a hacksaw. Now replaced with some new SS hardware. Now that feels better... :-)

yikes, that doesn't sound too fun.

 

for future reference, KROIL beats PB every day of the week, nasty stuff that works great.

Blau - Thanks for the KROIL rec. I'll look into that!

Are you interested in selling your hockey sticks?  Mine I glued together and look natty as one was split in 2.

 

For now I do not mine doing the epoxy route.

 

I had to do new bolts for mine too.

the value of a nut splitter cannot be underestimated

Agreed - in this case my over-large nut splitter doesn't fit in the recess and over the nut. Every operation needs a multivalent approach. :-)
