Okay I officially pulled an dipshit move today. I was putting my drivetrain all together to be ready to install in my LE. All was going great as I had Mr Kona down helping me today. We got the transmission mounted. Put on the passenger side SS (bolted in place by Brian) & all was great. We change spots & I do the drivers side. I've got all the nuts on & am bolting into place. I have my torque wrench on there & am tightening away. It is was to big for the job but I figure all is well. Well I am a dipshit as I overtightened one & snaped the bolt (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) . I do have some nice stud pullers sowhile pissed for being an idiot. I figure I can get it out without to much trouble.
Hell no I can't. Even after some heat my stud snaps again at the head.

I then try to get under there & drill a hole to use an extractor. My extractor breaks in the hole I drilled. SO now I have to drill that out too. I am so frustrated & it's my own damn fault. I'm going to head to harbor freight & pick up a new tap & dye set. Any ideas on how to not screw this up any worse (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) |

Jamie,
That's great news. FYI - I have a new 8mm stud that I won't use (my heads take 10mm/8mm step studs). I just dropped it in the mail to you so you don't have to fiddle with a used stud. Hopefully you'll have it tomorrow. - Bryan |

I am fine with it though. Also it only ran $65 so I can't complain. I had to leave work & head north on some service stuff. So I can't pick it up till tommorow. On a semi related note I may go pick up a 74 2.0 parts car tonight (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) . Motor is torn apart & it's missing one head & the Fuel injection (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) . The FI would have come in handy (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) .I'm hoping I'll get lucky & find it somewhere in his shop. |
