SO my teener broke down as I was driving out of South Dakota. I was able to get it towed for free to Mitchell, SD. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif)
Here is what is broken: The bolt that attaches the Impeller hub to the crankshaft has sheared off inside the crankshaft. This caused the impeller hub to fall off the crankshaft and caused the generator to stop functioning as well as engine cooling to cease. Once the hub fell off the crankshaft, the woodruff key fell out too. Here is my situation: the car is parked at a transmission shop here in Mitchell. I have a full set of sockets and wrnches, as well ass assorted 914 tools, but no jacks or jackstands. I have removed the forward engine tin, as well as the belt, impeller and hub. I have also removed the front half of the impeller shroud. My plan of attack: I want to ask the transmission shop to use an extractor to remove what is left of the bolt with the engine still in the car. if they can remove it I will need to locate a new woodruff key, at which point I should be able to re-install the impeller using a new bolt and a lockwasher since the old bolt is shot. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) My Plan B: if I can't remove what is left of the bolt, I plan to rent a U Hauls truck and trailer and pull the car the rest of the way to Muncie, Indiana. I would really appreciate some input on whether my reasoning is sound, if I'm an imbecile, or if I'm SOL thanks in advance, Ross |

Thank you Kelty360 and Rick 918-S for your cards and gifts. I had no idea that anyone other than Ross would want to thank me. Your response meant a lot to me especially after my son's death. Thanks Kelty360 for putting the 914 world info in the card. I probably won't be on here much but I wanted to sign up so I could thank you guys for your thoughtfulness. As far as my son, they say he died from a massively enlarged heart that no one caught. It was very unexpected and he died in my arms after I got home from work that evening. That was the first we knew that anything was wrong. My wife and I would love your prayers if you think of us. Anyway, your thanks have been much appreciated, and Ross, I'm glad you made it back.
