I had a second thought on this; there is a work-around. After the muffler is installed, you can take the car to a muffler shop and ask them to weld the tube that comes up from the muffler right to the male nut that is frozen in the HE. As long as they don't weld this to the outside piece (the female thread) then you're not ruining anything other than what will be thrown away anyway, once the muffler is rusted out. This is tight work, but some of those muffler guys are pretty good at this. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ Shameless link for search engines: http://listarchive.type3.org ~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
