Got one of them out with a double-nut, the other is being stubborn. I heated it a little, then sprayed it while hot...gonna let it soak.
If it gives any further resistance, I'll get an extractor.

Try yelling at it or begging it to come loose.

Tonight I removed my steering rack and a brake line; I wanted better access to prep the frame for painting the peeled-epoxy areas, and need to rebuild the rack anyway.
I also finished prepping the closing plate and planning to drill drain holes in it, anybody have suggestions on size & locations?
Also a few misc. items: tried unsuccessfully to remove the last exhaust manifold stud, gently tried the y-pipe bolts, prepped for steering column bushing replacement, replaced plug wires, and removed some PO wiring mods.

Today I borrowed an inspection camera from a friend, I'm going to look down inside the cylinders on the passenger side where I heard that tapping noise.
I want to make sure something (like a screw) didn't get sucked down in there.

Ouch. See if there are any chipmunks in the area you can hire to climb in there and root around?

Do you still have the exhaust manifolds removed? You may be able to rotate the engine by hand to open the exhaust valve in the cylinder you're interested in and peek in with the camera that way.
