Ed,
I can't really remember exactly. I think that a BIG pipe wrench was
used....some penetrating oil......lots of pulling and I think the nut
finally collapsed in on itself and the nut came out that way. In hind site
that was likely a pretty stupid thing to do since I risked damaging the
threads in the head. Turns out that the only thing that was destroyed was
the nut.....I was lucky. You might try heating the nut too.
Is this the new "old" girl you are working on? Did you get the bike ok? I'm
looking forward to meeting you and seeing the bike in the New Year.
Regards....Ian

| Ian, how did you finally get the header nut loose. I have one that I have almost destroyed and can't seem to get loose. Thanks, Ed |
