that fucking bolt


barf

Recommended Posts

so I'm frustrated and want some advice.

trying to disassemble the oil pump on the 4G93 to de-coke it, the bolts are supposed to be torqued to 10NM but after 270,000kms they seem pretty stuck. they are a plus-head countersunk bolt and i'm not keen on mincing the bolt head if i can avoid it, theres no nut they just fasten into the oil pump. whos got the best pro-tips?

do i reaaaaalllly have to drill and eziout these tings? would heating/cooling help?

get a taper punch ground to a sharp point, one whack with a hammer on the outer edge between the "+" straight down to make a little "crater" then you should be able to use the punch and hammer on an angle to turn it. hard to describe without sounding retarded but it works well
