MG Midget heater valve stuck
Find out if I can free off the heater valve on our 1980 MG Midget classic British sports car.
Also replaced the antifreeze

I have one of those work benches, they are slightly more stable with the jaws shut. Another nice video.

It’s convenient to fold away in the barn. Thank you
I saw a KZread video that recommended a great peneteating concoction: acetone and automatic transmission fluid combined in a 50/50 mixture. I tried it, and it works beautifully to free up rusted bolts. I use a small (4 oz.) Oil can with a pump to apply it.

That sounds like a great tip, does the acetone effect the paintwork?

@@themustardmidget I don't know. I have not let it touch a painted area. I suspect it would dissolve the paint.
Would be wise to change the rubber o-ring inside the valve while you are in there. 👍🏻

Great point! I didn’t dismantle but that is probably good to do
Once its loosened up its probably good for another 20 years.

Yes, I have got to also keep moving it on a regular basic too.

@@themustardmidget I think mine is stiff as it doesn't get opened and closed. A well timed video from you. I will manipulate the valve today.
