[NSRCA-discussion] YS 140 Sport stuck exhaust header

[Richard Lewis]

Before cutting, try this.

Wrap the end of the hex wench in a paper towel or tissue paper and insert it in the socket.  Touch a bit of thin CA on the paper.  Wait a bit for the CA to harden the paper and then try to loosen.  The paper/CA fills the gaps in the socket.  Works sometimes, worth a shot.

The socket has been damaged a bit by previous installation and removal, to the point where I can't get an allen wrench to hold tightly.  When I try to turn it, the wrench slips.  Any suggestions for how to remove the header?
