Well, if I can I like to just weld a nut right back to anything left of the shank...
Sounds to me like Sleepr doesn't have much room to work in there.
That works very good. I have even welded a washer to one that is broke off flush and then weld the nut to the washer. It is hard in tight quarters, though!
The lower bolt will not come out. I have tried two different extractors. It looks like my only option is going to be drilling a new hole. What do I need to watch for when doing this?
Make sure no drilling s fall into the engine, use grease around the drill bit area to catch the metal. Start with a small drill bit to create a pilot hole. Then go bigger. Use a heli-coil set will be the best.
I drilled two new holes into the broken bolts and tapped them. I thought about using a helicoil, but I already had the tap set here. I was thinking about doing a top end kit, and now I have one more reason to do it.
