1. Performed the steering angle sensor repair using a kit on Ebay. 2. Sanded, polished, and lacquered the headlights again. 3. Installed Xpel headlight protection film (this stuff is THICC) 4. Performed the suspension air compressor repair using a kit from Amazon. This was preventative as I don't think there was anything wrong with mine. Don't want to have to pull the audio system after it's installed if I can avoid it. 5. Pulled some trims off of the parts car, have some more to grab and then it's out of here. Too tempting to start pulling vanos solenoids, eccentric shaft sensors, etc and I need more parts on shelves like I need more holes in the head. 6. Swapped the front bumper reinforcement from the parts car with the one on my truck while the front bumper was off. Mine had a stripped tow hook eye thread on one side. Of course the side I was going to mount the license plate holder. Must have been in a light front end accident at some point as there was some damage to the passenger side but everything seems to line up okay so I'll use it. 7. Carpeted my trim panel that will hold some compartments in the spare tire well under my audio install. 8. Replaced the alternator, idler pulley, and tensioner/pulley and degreased the engine. Will monitor to see if valve cover gaskets continue to seep enough to jeopardize the new alternator. I upped the viscosity and added at205 + Lucas additives. It's a stop gap measure...

Fan delete nut what won't they think of. I might get a couple of them for next winter when I take off our mechanical fans for the season to keep the bolt from rusting up over the winter and encouraging the nut to seize

On day number four of having a rounded off exhaust manifold nut. about to throw a brick at this thing and put it on craigslist. This is the last nut that needs to come off before I can remove the converters for replacement. No room for vise grips, barely room to get a pair of pliers, flat head with a hammer, and The bolt extractors will not work.

I had a recent very similar problem with a completely rounded nut on a shock absorber.
I bought a set of sockets meant to grab rounded nuts but they didn't grip. What did work fabulously well was my bostich spline socket. Find the smallest one that will just start to fit and hammer the crap of that sucker to get it wedged on. (You may need to use a fulcrum and lever with the tight spacing)  The nut was basically a cylinder, the groove (arrow) was added by pounding on the spline socket.
