Nah. 170ish now. I plan to jerry rig an amazing breaker bar using my tekton bar wrapped into the long handle used for the jack. Tappy tap with a hammer if needed. Otherwise, I go to a local parts store and ask to borrow a blowtorch for the day.

I just had a freaking genius idea!!! I need the car inspected anyways before the trip.

So I have the techs loosen the demon bolts before hand and just have them retighten to normal tq.

I'm not sure that's such a good idea unless you're just willing to pay them to do the work. You might want to check with them on how much it will cost you when one of the bolts breaks and they have to cut it out with a torch...

Good attitude. As long as you're not surprised by the bill.

Nah. Won't be the first and won't be the last. I trust the shop I take mine to as well. Very good guys to deal with. All old timers who just like classics and wrenching.
