Subject:Breaking exhaust port bolt loose, 1.9L
From:Rocket J Squirrel
Date:Fri, 15 Oct 2004 10:32:57 -0700

I'm trying to pull the bottom cover off the passenger side of this 1.9L
WBX engine so I can determine if a coolant leak is coming from the head.
It is affixed to the engine in four places. I've gotten three loose, but
the front (front is front) where it mounts to the exhaust port with a
bolt is being tough. I have PB Blasted the bolt and let it soak, but it
won't budge. All I can get on it is a 13mm open-end wrench . . . tips?
Suggestions?
