Blow, vaccum around the G/P's then use PB blaster. Fill the "well" around the G/P and leave over night then repeat.

deanj, thanks for the info. Sounds like you may have had the same problem. PB blaster is great stuff. Does anyone use never seeze? Actually, I think I over torqued when I put them in.

i do the clean and pb routine also. let it sit overnight, and then spray it again till you can crack them loose. never seize is a must use. only tighten them finger tight. i think the book calls for 15 inch pounds or something like that.
