Well, i eventually i got it off, popping veins and developing a brain anurism. Kept turning the steering wheel and yanking that mother******. I sprayed WD on it yesterday and this morning and smashed the bolt threaded in a little a few times this arvo with a hammer. Put on the fairlane wheel and a new momo gear knob. Short shifter come shortly so should drop the stick height about 2 inches.
I hate night photos with a flash, shows all little imperfections and dirt.
