Xantia ACTIVA 2ltr (TaffyTiva)....the resurrection begins !

Ummm, that does not look good.......and the Draper flair nut spanners I have are slipping on it (slipped once, then I stop) The Draper spanners really are S**t and I must bin them off asap.

So, out comes my new wonder device, a butane micro flame/soldering torch to heat up the nut itself........

And out it comes using a Halfors Pro 9mm open end spanner....that will do nicely Sir.

Note, it has not even burnt the plastic paint on the feed pipe.

I have to say - those little butane torches come in properly handy sometimes. I used my cheap Chinese one to heat up an aircon pipe nut in a tight space and it did the job with no collateral damage at all.

I don't use mine much, other than as a precision weed burner.
Just a useful tool to have, although I don't remember why I bought it.

Ahh, the good old hot spanner!

That's a nice result Alasdair Pleased that one came out OK as it would have been a bit of a ball-ache otherwise...

[Stickyfinger]

Not much to update with really.....time !....just suspension/brake works done.

Wheels are back on and it will be kicked out of the garage soon as that is needed for the sinker.
