Hey guys
I tried to use an easy-out but this broken heat exchanger stud is stuck. Since the head is aluminum and the stud is (?) some hardened metal - will this work? I took the fuel line off and ran the engine until it stopped so hopefully I won't blow myself up in the process (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) . what do you think? thanks |

Eeek, broken easy outs are no fun. If nothing else works, take it a machine shop that can use an EDM to get it out. When you're welding, don't arc to the aluminum.
