well that was my plan. Just try to heat the tube about 1" from the ends with a map gas torch, then see if I can remove the hiems, they are literally frozen in right now. then if they do come out then just run a tap in each side and then be good.
But since all I have is tonight to do this, and I dont have a vise (I know, but no real mount to put it on) and if this doesnt work then where am I for tomorrow. And worst part is that I dont have a right or left 3/4x16 tap. And at like 10$ for R and 25$ for L taps. But then its still just a hope..
