Stuck Exhaust Nut!

Postby DESMOMINI » Sat Apr 11, 2015 2:37 am

Hello, all!

Proud new owner of a 1969 Ducati 160 Monza Jr. Last run in 1972. Acquired for a case of beer (total cost: $31.)

First order of business - stuck exhaust nut!

Tried heat, PB Blaster, special exhaust wrench, etc. Just breaking fins off nut, nothing turning.

New recommendations include Kroil (just ordered from Amazon) and chemical freeze (great one!)

Anything else?

ALSO - is this a counter-clockwise unthread?

how much heat? an exhaust stud on my 250 was stuck, so I locked two nuts together on it, used a blow torch to get it really hot, then it just unscrewed.
be nice, I'm not very bright.
