I have a 10 year old 20 hp horizontal shaft kohler. I'm going to remove heads and not looking forward to removing the muffler. The part stud sticking past the nut looks bad, rusty. Don't really see how PB blaster will do much good with rust covering most of threads. Not looking forward to twisting off studs. Muffler is in the way of using impact. So what would you recommend? Heating nuts with a torch? I was thinking of grinding off part of the stud sticking out past nut, but that might be difficult, again muffler in the way. Should I run engine and get things hot? Use welding gloves on and hope I can get them lose. Was thinking of using hammer on wrench to jar nut.
Please tell me what you would do.
