    Opening The Teapot

    You might ty a deep well socket on an impact wrench turned down as low as you can get it.. As far as heat is concerned, the bolt is steal, heat it and let it travel down, or stick it in an oven at about 350 F

    If you haven't been,

    I believe they said it started in 1953, hence the basic rule of pre 53, but they fudge a bit and allow some in, after they made the trip from what ever.. They have rebuilt, or built a clone of the Kenz Lesley twin.. It was there on show but did not run.. I thik it did run last year and you...
