Thanks for the heads-up Steve. Sounds like lots of Kroil and maybe a little
heat are called-for.
How visible are the topside screws? Sounds almost like a worthwhile
(premeditated) mod. My BJ8 is mostly original, but a Pertronix, spin-on oil
filter adapter and the clutch slave cylinder bleeder extension have made life
easier and, of course, they are fairly easily removed.

Two or three of the studs on both pans broke off the first time I tried to
remove the nuts, so I'm one of those people who replaced the studs with the
screws from above. For the nuts, I used "anchor nuts", which are riveted to
the seat structure and provide some "float" to make inserting the screws
easier. It only takes a minute to pull a seat pan for access to the fuel
pumps (I have two), and I've found it also makes accessing the differential
fill plug easier, as well as the fuel filter that I have located under the
right seat near the pump.
