I removed the seats and carpeting from my Fury so that I could clean out and repaint the floorboards before I re-carpet, but I'm not sure how to remove the hinged gas pedal, which is attached to the floorboard somehow. Any advice is appreciated!
If it were my house, I would replace the suspect pipes with 'black iron' gas pipe. (Do not use galvanized pipe - the odorant in the gas contains sulfur, which reacts with the zinc, causing pinholes.) I would not want the liability of defective gas pipes hanging over my head, especially if the seller read the inspector's report. Using an epoxy to seal the pipe is hit-or-miss. You would have to clean the pipe extremely well to assure a good bond, and there is no assurance the epoxy will provide a lasting solution. The gas company and furnace installer only check for leaks at pipe joints. If the plumbing installation was done properly, they would have used gas-compatible PTFE (Teflon) tape or PTFE pipe dope, and you would not have any gas leaks.
Q1: No. It is in orbit around the Earth, just as the Moon is. The Earth's gravity ensures that the space-station's path is not a straight line - it continuously pulls at right-angles to the direction of travel - and so the station orbits the Earth in a near-circle. The Moon is in a similar situation, but it is further from the Earth than the ISS. Thus, its orbit is more weakly affected by the Earth's gravity and its orbit has a wider diameter. For a more complete reason, read up on the 'vis viva' equation.
No that is what holds the bolt in locked position
