  • i really pwned myself



    See the holes with white in them? Those are bolts with the heads broken off. Yeah. I did that on 4 out of 8 flex plate bolts. A couple of hours, drill bits, and bolt extractors later there's only 1 left. Have to wait to tomorrow to buy another bolt extractor kit because all mine are either broken or too mushroomed at the end to be of any use.

    Oh well, nevertheless I'm enjoying this project, I'm learning some awesome experience :naughty:

    where you putting them in or taking them out? I broke one of mine off installing the aluminum flywheel... but was very lucky cause the way the head broke I was able to turn the rest of the bolt out with the broken head...:banana:

      I did it taking the flex plate off, but after I get that last bolt out I'm putting in the flywheel. I don't see how I could do it with brand new bolts, but I'll still be cautious, haha.
