I need to find a way to fix (get it out!) I was driving the car tonight and the bolt that gos into the engine from the motor mount broke off, so i need to find a way to get the rest of the bolt out to replace it.... I'd be most greatful for any help :bananaman
do we know "why" it broke??? i would take and jack that side of the motor up and take the motor and frame mount off. that will give you a little more room to work. being it is a large bolt that makes them not so bad to back out. let us know what it looks like after you get everything out of the way... maybe post a pic...work safe...frank...
You have a 6 cylinder... those bolts are made to stand up to hundreds of horse power, what the heck were you doing to break it?
(go speed racer, go speed racer, go speed racer gooo) no really, i was delivering pizza, dropped her into reverse, and the bolt snapped. i noticed today that it was missing the bottom bolt , so all that hp was hittin on that one bolt,...plus i dont think it was the strongest bolt .....i bought some grade 8's to go back in there place. i cant get the dang thing out... so i cant make the money to buy that comet i found for $200 need that loot. I cant get a drill in there to drill it out so now i'm just kinda stuck....
I couldnt post my pix on here couldnt get the pix small enough to fit, so i made a web page,.... www.maverick1976.freeservers.com
Do you have access to a dremmel tool? If so cut a slot in the top of it and use a screwdriver to back it out. I doubt that this particular bolt would be siezed up.
I bought a set of those bits, that you hammer in a turn with a wrench to back it out, but i cant get a ______ to get in there to drill a hole in the bolt to do it,... my brother has one ,but he cant find it so I can't cut a slot out for a screwdriver
On larger bolts you can sometimes use a small chisel to back the bolt out. Is it broken off flush with the block?
maverick1970 has 2 good ideas with a Dremel tool and using a punch to start it turning. If you have a friend with a decent amount of tools, odds are they have an angle drill adapter. Rental centers might have one too. That is what you need to get into there for an easy-out. This one is from JC Whitney
