Hmmmm – glad you’re not a knee Dr Rick – there would be a run on Peg legs. BUWHahahahaha (cough cough) Doug From: Ferrari <ferrari-bounces+dnt=dock.net [at] ferrarilist.com> On Behalf Of Rick Moseley Since you are willing to torch it, try thermal shocking it. clean the nut up good with a wire brush so you are exposing clean metal all the way around Heat it up evenly, good and hot, then hit the entire area with a soaking wet towel and hold it tight, after a few seconds, move to another section of the towel that's still wet and cold. Keep moving the towel until you can touch the nut. Rinse and repeat. after 3 or 4 shock cycles, it'll come either come loose or you are cutting it out. I cut mine off and welded AN fittings to the rad.

Impact works wonders so give the wrench a good rap with a lead mallet What material is the threaded piece coming off the oil cooler? If it's AL then heating the nut may not help much.

Looking at it, see picture again, I can ONLY heat 1 side of the nut. Can’t go under it, can’t go the other side either, nor can I heat on top of the nut. I can only apply heat on 1 side. So, maybe that’s why the heating solution didn’t work at all. I guess I’ll have to send it to my mechanic after the lockdown is finished. That’s racing!
