(explative) 68k miles, from the NW, so not much, is any rust or salt up here.
What a pain in the dick. I don't wanna sound like a pansy, but this thing kicked my ass. Three days of soaking in penetrating oil.
It made all the wrong sounds for about 5 full loosening revolutions. I grimaced the whole time.
I've battled many many downpipe bolts and hardware on the Audi and VW brand, but this thing was evil.

Sort of reminds me of working on a B-52
On the bright side, at least he's not working it on a Redball while everything in the area is over two hundred degrees.
