<VV> Engine disassembly

[J R Read]

Wherever possible, clamp a good vice grip to the studs and have a buddy keep 
them from turning.  You might find a need to pound a metric socket onto the 
exposed nuts (which are likely rusted to a smaller size) for a good grip on 
them.  For certain, you should be using a 6 point socket and you might want 
to grind the beveled portion off in order to get more of the flats onto the 
nut.

Later, JR
