Colby. Name a day next week sometime and ill fire up my little welder. If you havent got your exhaust piped in yet, it should be cake. Im going on a field service job to WAX-A-SNATCHY next week from Monday to Wednesday. I have the hood and the welder. Ill bring it over and we can get that bitch out of there and put an end to the problem.

My proposed plan is: I stick the bitch with my welder and we let it cool naturally. If you have a compressed air laptop cleaner, we can then spray the bolt some and help it contract a tad. Then we turn it off of there. Sounds easy huh? Gimme a call and have a new bolt ready. That would annoy me as well. Oh yea and if my evil little plan fails, i have a drill and a bolt extractor kit.

 

damn, too bad we don't have any liquid helium right now, I could spray that bish and probably get it out a lot easier.

I'll have to see if we have any magnets that need a fill....

 

Yeah, but mine was broken flush and I had the engine out for months and had the time. I gaurantee you if I had enough threads to snag a nut on there I would have done that and then welded it to it. I then would have worried about pulling it out next time. But heat the bolt with a propane torch to loosen the loctite first. I didn't know they had red loctite on them or I wouldn't have been in that predicament.

 

hell, I broke it going in AND that was the last one to tighten.....there was no way in hell I was pulling the other 5, risking breaking another bolt, to get that one out. I think I'll have somebody spark a tack on it and deal with it later.
