"Crewcab Jake" the 84 to 74 conversion

[N2TRUX]

If you recall, I had issues with the bolts in my exhaust manifolds being frozen. The muffler shop attempted to remove them, but that failed. I concerned that the bolts in the block were going to be a nightmare to remove too. It was suggested to soak them with PB Blaster and heat cycle them a couple of times to prepare them for removal.

I soaked them liberally with PB Blaster and let them soak for a night or two. Well actually a month or so. I was absolutely blown away at how well this worked. The bolts required a slight bump with the short ratchet then they spun freely. Not one single bolt gave me trouble coming out.
