Yes but I already have the Rust-Oleum so I don't have to buy anything. I've already spent way more than I thought I would and tonight I ordered a stainless steel downpipe because while I'm in there

Corvetteforum.com, and I've lamented my frustrations in the last week of them being so weak willed to fix their own crap. There are still a scant few who make it worth the while, but damn it if the folks here don't match my personality so much better.
That's impressive, most of the Army or Marines we worked with struggled with any words two syllables or more..🤣
Same with the local group here. Majority has atleast 20 years on me and I'll be surprised if they lift anything besides detail spray and a terri cloth.
The peasants like me with my C5Z06 doing my own work are the lower class of society..
It's all fun and games until they're losing their mind contemplating selling the car over a nothing problem. Seeing them squirm like that makes going balls deep in my own stuff all worth the while. A mere mortal would likely drop $2500+ to send in their T56 for a rebuild.
One of them here took their C6 in and paid $400 to get the Alternator changed.. I politely said nothing as they all nodded in agreement how much these cars cost to work on. Then talked about what New Balance shoes matched their hats.
Or part out their regal they were building for years and years and years..... right? 🤔
Butane Micro Torch and a hand held, hammer actuated, impact driver. They are 3/8ths drive and accept the T-40 torx bits. Scare up another torx bit from Snap On or Mac or ??. Use the butane torch to heat up the Torx bolt and then fit the hammer driven impact tool in place, load it up against the spring, haul off, introduce it to a BFH, and POP It One. Just me guessing here but thinking that that torx bit has/had some kind of factory applied lock tite or maybe one of those nylon button inserts in the threads and it is being b*tchy. Got my Hammer driven impact from K&D 40 or more years ago; it has killed quite a few bits but it does do the trick. M/C brake rotor bolts are notorious for fighting back and heat is pretty much mandatory to get them to move. If it doesn't move under that kind of encouragement, well, how much heat can the case stand before things get twitchy??
AS for linguistic variants on the work F***, well, French, Spanish/Latino, German, a little Russian, and, of course, North American English. Not in the habit of blaming a false prophet for my problems so no Arabic/Syrian/Irani/Iraqi/Paki/Afghani, or any of their relatives.
As far as offering a historical seminar on the word/topic, I charge a $100/hr and there will be pop quizzes and a full test at the end. LMAO!!
