My car got F'ED up

the package should tell u what size hole to drill

If that bolt is so tight that it breaks the EZ out, you aren't turning it with vice grips. The threads on the EZ out are backwards, so now lefty=tighty, and righty = loosie, that is the opposite of normal threaded bolts, so when your going lefty tighty with the extractor, it is diggin into the stuck bolt, and your stuck bolt is going the normal lefty loosie.

lol thats the simplest way I can explain it.

This is what it looks like.

Drill the right size hole then put the extractor in the hole and unscrew the bolt. The extractor will dig in the bolt and as you un screw the extractor the bolt will come with it. It always sound easier then it actually is but it's not that hard to do.

If you have AAA, I wouldn't even waste my money or time with a screw extractor set, inwhich you'll probably never use again, or they will break, and just tow it up to a local machine shop. For 50 bucks, they'll drill, tap, and helicoil that.

i agree with PoopDawg just get it done just incase something else happens while u try to fix it... sorry to hear about ur car...

FoxNotch · Nov 8, 2006

if you need to go the welding route, dont just weld the handle right to the broken bolt.
get 3/8th pipe and plug weld the base of it to the bolt, then get your handle and push it into the top of the pipe (said pipe is like 1/2" long), and run a bead around the top. I wouldnt waste time welding right to the bolt.
Dont take any offense, but that's the sort of think I would leave to a pro.

found out the threads in the heads are stripped, thats why the bolts came out. No car for a while, im gonna get the march kit that hooks up to the water pump

Also, i hope it's ur t-stat housing leaking, but if that spot is filled it could also be the front intake rail. They very often leak right behind the dizzy so it makes it hard to see. GL mob

Jaswir · Nov 8, 2006

yea did u find where the leak was coming from??

FoxNotch · Nov 8, 2006

how did they strip? Ive never heard of something like this happening before fwiw.

mob · Nov 8, 2006

Im not sure how they stripped but I went to put the new bbolts in and once they got to the point where they are all the way tight it would just loosen up again, and i could push the bolt half way in, i got the right size bolts also.

go a size bigger, or put alot of lock tight on the ones you have~!.. "clear nailpolish" would also work... but if you can slide them half way in, id go a sice bigger and torque them bit ches in there real good!
