Barry,
I love it !!!!! No stopping you!!! Come hell (frozen stud,) or
high water, my man gets the job done! I admire your tenacity, rotating
the head to turn the stud. Really you had no recourse, and it worked,
but I couldn't help laughing to myself.... It kinda reminded me of the
old joke about needing five [insert ethnic group here]'s to change a
light bulb, one to hold the bulb, four to turn the ladder.
My only hope is you never have a wheel stud frozen to a wheel~ you
could really throw your back out spinning the GT 6 around to loosen it!
