Snapped exhaust stud

[Fanum]

I had to unlock the 'forbidden tools' cupboard whilst Rosie wasn't looking, to get the angle grinder out to narrow the head of a 13mm spanner to get in to get a decent lock in place.

I managed that without cutting any limbs off or setting light to anything too important, and half an hour later:

It had a fair bit of wibble to the hand when it was half way out (damn I love these new technical terms I'm learning ) so I'm guessing the threads in the head are pretty much buggered up.

About to order this from HERE

Lots of them on ebay, but I like the fact that these guys have gone to the bother of making an idiot proof video as well


I like idiot proof things, I do

My tool cupboard definitely has space for one of those kits

I know what you mean, you should see the look of horror on my wife's face when I get out the ripsaw, angle grinder, or gas torch.
