IR 1300

I ended up getting a job for a large compressor that involved a cracked exhaust manifold. It happened to be fairly old so my main concern was not breaking the bolts to the exhaust manifold. That would add hours to the job, so I did the smart thing. Instead of just using an impact to take them off which would surely break most of them I used a breaker bar to walk them back and forth until the would move freely. Only then would I use an impact to get them off. Of course there were several things in the way being held on with rusty components that had to be removed.
