An aside:

I was working on my car at his house on Saturday and was removing a brake caliper (all you need to know is that this is the part that does the squeezing; it is exposed to extreme frictional heat).


A bolt was seized (by the heat) so badly that when I put all my strength into it to loosen it, it sheared off. The bolt broke rather than loosening.


It was the first time I spontaneously used his method, and it worked rather well.

I landed on the pavement; and looking at the broken bolt, I just laughed: "All I can say is wow!"

Happy comments from you.
Very good to see.

My dear, sweet m-i-l ... who is so opposed to profanity that I get a dirty look if I say "darn" ... has an expression she uses when she is really, really ticked off .... horsefeathers! I just about crack up on the rare occasions when she is angry or frustrated enough to say it.

I've gotta try that. If it works for the dreaded sheared-off bolt, it should work in almost any situation. Dunno if it would be adequate in the case of the even-more-dreaded broken EZ-Out, though.
