RT Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 fuckin leave it in there. Get a adapter for your oil filter off trademe and put a new temp sender in there. Or put one in your sump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest blown4 Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 i get this shit all the time at work(lawnmower repairs!) youll find the easy out isnt as hard as u think(dont use one again.theyre a shit of an idea,they just push the thread harder into the outer surface,i never use them) find the dead centre of the(not so)easy out,use a fine drill and make a hole right throo,go another size up and drill again,DONT BREAK THEM OFF,work carefully,keep goin up sizes till youre nearly at the thread size,get a dremmel tool and carefully grind into the side of the sender thread in one spot,u should have a 'c' shaped peice of thread left in there,now get an old screwdriver or fine punch and grind it to a fine point then carefully(lots of carefullys ay!)tap it in between the thread of the sender and the thread of the block which should curl it up a bit. you should now be able to stick a big screw driver in there and wind it out sounds complicated but its the only way... oh yeah,youll probable have to flush the motor too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defcon Posted March 19, 2005 Author Share Posted March 19, 2005 Another typical kiwi repair id have to say, i drilled it a bit, nothing much happened, gopt in a rage, wacked the hit out of it with a hammer, which then blocked up the holes and gaps int he easy out,(if u imagine i wacked it and the spread) so i dont think any oil will be leakin out of her now( not unless it can force its wacy thru a mil of metal or summin. Ive got other threaded holes i can use for the sender so all is solved, thanks for the help yall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
