One of my bolts is stripped in the lower leg I repaired one before in the same leg.. it was stripped also somebody tried to well they had done it drilled into the next size. So what I did since that bolt was already threaded for that bigger size I just drilled right into that bowl not in the leg but. I put it in my drill press and I drilled straight through the bowl and then threaded the inside of that boat so it's back to a normal thread to hold the fender on and I put that bolt into the leg and then cut the head off so it's kind of like a helicoil but stronger I think

Take a rag and fold it then place it on the piston then take your red hammer on the table and start hitting the piston lightly until it moves a little bit, after it moves then add PB blaster then top it off with a mix of Marvel mystery oil and let it soak for 1 to 2 weeks soaking then take a paper towel and soak it up then take your Ares Pistol Hammer and go crazy hitting it until you get that piece moving

Absolutely got a valve or 4 hanging open. See how you got one pump of the gauge where as normally the gauge will pump up a little bit with each compression stroke till it maxs out. You got one then they stuck on some carbon on the valve seats or the valves are tight in the guides or gummed up
