I think everyone got confused and thought you broke a head bolt off. Looks like you just broke the head of a bolt off.<br /><br />You can usually use an EZ out with good results on those thermostat housing bolts. Just GO SLOW. It also helps to soak what's left of the bolt in penetrating oil for a day or so. It'll make backing out the bolt a lot easier. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Duncan Motors</b> <br /><small>Member # 7045</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2010,1,5,0,19,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> yeah but could still muck it up if hes never done it before .it takes a patient steady hand.if you got a welder, take a washer and mount it over the hole where your bolt is make sure the washer is only big in the middle as your bolt then weld washer to broken bolt then weld nut to washer let cool down. take wrench unscrew bolt. if it breaks off do it again. impossible to muck up anything. and i have used this method on the worst of any broken bolt! and this method works the best, and the fastest.if none of this makes sence lol take the intake to your machinest, or maybe some one hear will make a house call. <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
