I too tapped the holes in the plate which makes it much easier than trying to hold the nut under the plate. |
I came up with 2 old rusty C-4 plugs. After soaking a few days with Kroil, I was able to remove the threaded insulator retaining bushings with an impact wrench. I still had to use a hammer to remove the insulators. They will still need to be de-rusted and tapped for a bolt. Up until now I did not realize the engine puller from the vendors could be disassembled. Anybody know where I can get just the half that threads into the head?
That video has been very helpful in gathering the parts that I will need. What did you use for the spacers?
