Yes this is the "new" old Ambo I just bought. It had a little more rust than
I thought on several areas and looks like it sat quite a while so I am
tearing it apart down to the frame and cleaning and replacing the regular
bearings, seals and gaskets. Looks to be shining up fairly good and I plan
to keep it original since the numbers match. I look forward to some of your
expertise when you get down here. Thanks for the info.

Ed

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
