Don't know about rust prevention here. Most exhaust parts really rust from the inside out, so things you do to the outside have little effect. Nut in the center? You mean the one on the left side? Again heat the nut to dull red, let it cool a bit, then remove the bolt. If the bolt breaks off, drill it out and put another nut behind it. That nut is on a bracket that is pretty strong. - Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe? mailto:type3-request@vwtype3.org, Subject: unsubscribe
