Hi fellow bricksters.
It seems that 3 years ago when I replaced the t-stat, I probably overtightened the nuts. This weekend when I tried to change the t-stat after flushing the cooling system, I could not remove it since on of the nuts is stripped.
Any ideas on how to go about to remove the stripped nut? and for the future how much tightening is needed?
Thank you
