I bought a bow saw yesterday, and when I got it home, and stripped the
cardboard shield
off the blade, I found that there was a second blade there, which was very
nice, but where
the stupidity comes in is that to remove the second blade, which is for
ripping, one has
to take both blades off,
Is it better to try to remove an aluminum bolt from the intake manifold
with the engine hot or cold?
On this 4.3 I don't know what the intake is made of.

I don't know exactly what you have there, but I threw away all that junk and
put in two large metal screws in place of the nut and bolt. The tension
holds the metal screws in place and when releasing the tension on mine, all
I have to do is back the metal screws out by hand.

My hand buck saw has two smooth pins with heads.
when you release the tension the pins pick right out.

Recently, my stepson broke the floater in the toilet tank. That big plastic
ball on the articulated arm that stops the water flow when it reaches a certain
level. So now, to flush it, we turn on the water from the wall valve. When we
do this, the pipes make a very loud rattling sound as if
Are you positive the bolts are aluminum? If so, it is very rare.
In general, you want to work on aluminum cold. You should use a good
penetrating lube on the fasteners before you start the work, and allow it time
to penetrate.
Be sure to use antisieze conpound on any bolt threads that
That even sounds better than the metal screws.

More likely the washer or seal on the ballcock doesn't have pressure on it.
This could and in more cases does cause a rattling noise in the pipes. I
suggest you replace the ballcock with a flow-master ballcock. Spend the
extra dollar and get the one with the round plastic pipe, which the float
It's been a while since I've worked with these. As I recall, there are 2 areas
on the clip that are on opposite sides of the fitting that you depress with
your fingers and then the hose will pull off. The clip that you depressed will
either come off with the hose, or stay with the fitting.
Jewel,
sounds like one of those things they may do to make it easier on the
manufacturer, but not on the user.
However isn't there a bolt that tightens up the blade longwise which you
release to make everything less tense? Or did you allready loosen that?

Yeah, I was afraid of that, sigh. Looks like I'll have to go under and see
what's what. Bigger sigh. Thought, on the bright side I don't have to use a
flashlight. One up on the sighties! tee hee.

Remove when cold, aluminum has a greater shrink factor than steel
when cold.

As far as I can tell, the blade fits behind a little hook at the hand end, and
the nut and
screw is at the other. I will look again, carefully, and see if there is
anything else
there to slack off the tension, which, of course, would make it easier to get
that darned
screw out.
Jewel
Usually there is a lever on the grip side that pulls down to loosen the
tension.

My saw has long since disappeared however as I remember there was a sort of
clip arrangement a little like the sort of arrangement used to latch a lunch
box. You pull it away from the end of the saw frame and it releases the
tension on the blade.

I tried to remove the quick connect inlet on my 4.3 and as most of you that
work on cars may suspect Yep it broke off flush. Really ticked me off. Now
I need to get it down to the shop.
I like a chalange but this was over my head. Just a warning for those who
think they may want to tackle one of

Yes it is aluminum but I was talking about the quick connect bolt where the
coolent goes into the intake manifold and the orriganals were alumanum and
the replacements are steel.
But as I just posted earlier I already busted it.
Boo Hoo.
