Well I apparently overtightened the bolt for the thermostat pulley thing and it snapped off leaving the majority of the bolt in the threads. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) I had planned on just carefully drilling it out but that was before i realized that's is a PITA to get to with a drill.. Any tips or anything would help..

A through bolt means it extends into the engine case and prevents oil from coming out of the inside of the motor.
Take care drilling it out or you might dump a bunch of metal chips into your engine oil..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif) That could lead to exciting noises and motor carnage later..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) |
