tortron Posted September 24, 2008 Author Share Posted September 24, 2008 i knew i should have just kept drilling it i think il try get a dremel in there and eat out the outsides of the bolt if all fails is there anyone in hams that does spark erosion? the block is cast iron so could a gas torch just burn the cunt out?

Testament Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 what size is the bolt? is it broken off inside the hole? or is there a little bit sticking out? may need to crc the shit out of it and weld something onto the end to turn it with. if you can get someone to do it with the right rod (i forget the number but i can find out tomorrow at work) its like a nickel/stainless/hightensile rod so pretty much = ftw at welding to most steels/stainless steels. then hit the thing on the end to try and shock it and use heaps of crc and it should come out.

tortron Posted September 24, 2008 Author Share Posted September 24, 2008 na its slightly inward of the hole bolt is 5/16th i think the dremmel will work, i was pretty on centre with the easy out - rethread with slighly bigger bolt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheater_5 Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 ive had this happen to me 3 times now. Never been so raged in my life. My luck goes with you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unclejake Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Is the engine on the bench or in the car? I would be keen to try some heat and then frighten it with a can of that freeze shit you can get from electrical stores unless it is rusty. I have not tried the above method but it could be fun. It is, after all a pretty small bolt. EDIT: I haven't broken an Ezyout yet (touch wood) so I have bugger all experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bolt is just below the head on the side of the engine - engine = in car is a bolt for a waterjacket cover/dynamo bracket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest vvega Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 if engine = in car then spark erodoer = no can do get a puck and shatter the ezy out then use freeze sprat to make it cold then re eazy out it is it a good quality ezy out ?

tortron Posted September 24, 2008 Author Share Posted September 24, 2008 yea fuck it il just drill around it enough to get the bit out well i was hoping it would be - i stayed well clear of the cheep ones for this very reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelies Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 yup shatter it and mangle the bits out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
escorted Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 yup shatter it and mangle the bits out Or get it spark eroded. Things like easy outs are very brittle. Unless you have some give on the bolt dont bother with them. IMO anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZedHed Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 daaaang! is it the four sided ezy out with the reversed edges to grip,or the round screw type? I had it happen on the notourious last bold on the L series dat engine a few years back,was told a drill and tungsten bit wouldnt work......fucking did! Took a few goes at jumping up a bit size,but i just started small,slow with some good cutting fluid,and eventually drilled it till it was just a shell inside the thread. Not sure about the screw ezy outs,but the square ones are useless,I ground em all down to use as centre punches,wont get cuaght there again.

tortron Posted September 25, 2008 Author Share Posted September 25, 2008 was a round one decided to say a big fuck you to the bolt and simply blank off the hole on the cover doesn't leak so should be all gravy till i have the engine out at some point/never Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
