Nut breaker 1 - Front isolastic nut 0

Well, like the LSU-Alabama football game (a reference for us Yanks), it was a struggle down to the last play!. My post of yesterday of how to remove a rounded bolt came down to using a nut buster, which destroyed the nut but left the bolt intact. I tried the special socket that was supposed to hold rounded bolts and it failed.

This gizmo worked like a charm! If you've never seen one, the other end of the point is a 3/4" bolt head that screws in and fractures the bolt. You do it in 2 places and voila! a split nut. Engine and tranny now comfortably out of the frame and now the fun begins!

Those things are f'n medieval. Nice job.

I've never used one before but it did it's job.

nice!
