We couldn't keep a good flow in the location so it was a drier cut than we wanted, but no issues encountered. Had to stop multiple times to let the saw and blade cool. Total of 3 hours and 10 blades to cut 2 bolts, but it's done (the cutting anyways, unfortunately I have AWD which parts aren't available for so now we need to get spacers made to make a FWD replacement part fit)! :-) | |

| Mar 14, 2014 at 19:33 | comment | added | Brian Knoblauch | I've got a whole big monster can of WD-40 that came with my house, and I don't use WD-40 for anything else, so I'll (carefully) give it a shot! I also have since run across a video of Chip Foose advocating WD-40 as cutting oil. | |
