Thank you all for the great expert tips - even the ‘put a wrench on it’ one!
I’m happy to say the winner was soaking it with a penetrating oil and then using an easy out. Couldn’t have been easier. I hope one day I’ll have this kind of expertise and will be able to return the favor.
I’ll get one and try though the one in the photo looks a bit rounded over. I may have to try brute strength and put vise grips on the threads. I just didn’t want to destroy it in case I was unsuccessful and need to put the tube back on.
I’m hoping someone much more mechanically inclined than me can offer a tip for removing this recessed threaded nipple. A PO removed the air rail from my ‘72 FJ40 simply by cutting the tubes and pinching them off. I’d like to do a cleaner job by removing this part and putting in plugs. Any advice...
This cowl vent gasket is off my ‘72 FJ40. It still retains some elasticity and doesn’t have any noticeable rips or tears but does have a bit of cracking and dried adhesive on it. Asking $30 plus shipping.
I have a very used ‘72 FJ40 transfer case shift boot. I’m not sure if this is valuable to anyone and really don’t know what it might be worth so I’m asking $15 plus shipping.
I didn’t really do anything but I did learn what a ‘flushing tee’ is. After seeing this knob every time I opened the hood I finally took the time to learn about it. My plan is to remove it in the near future. FYI - the photo is actually upside-down for ease of reading.
