Whopper,

Thanks for the positive response.

That sounds great and should serve a purpose for other HHR New Bee's.

Give me a little time as I would like to tweak it a bit since that will make it a bit better.

I can just edit it here to make it easier.

I will post when I am done.....

OK Whopper,

I have updated it so look it over to see if you want me to make any changes or corrections ...

Otherwise you can proceed.

I tried to hold the so called flats on the stud with vice grips and then loosen the nut but no good.
Use PB Blaster instead of WD40 if you have to. Try to tighten first, then loosen also. You might get lucky.
