I have found that many of the tools that I have used to do restoration work on my 62 Falcon have been standard sockets and wrenches. I use a 12 inch long section of iron pipe to slip over the end of my socket when I need a "breaker bar". It works every time. I have yet to bust a nut or strip a head bolt. Plenty of "liquid wrench" and WD-40 help with tough stuff. Also a great tip for cleaning those dirty bolts. Use a dozen tea bags and make a gallon of tea in a gallon bucket. Drop your old greasy bolts into the "tea" overnight and the next day they will be clean and "black steel" as the day they were new. Some real greasy ones may need a little brushing. |
