06RTCharger Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 I was reconnecting some wires that i thought i didnt need with the alternator (old charge wire). So i removed the radiator hose to remove the alternator. When i put it all back together, the very last bolt, the radiator hose bolt broke its head off. Tried to tighten it too much i guess smh. It was the last fuckin bolt too. Then the job was done. But nope. So anyways i need to get that broke bolt out, what should i use? I see people use chisels, screw extractors, threaded screw extractors, welding a washer onto the broken bolt thats stuck then weld a nut to that washer. What do yall think will work for this? I dont have welding equipment, no clue how to use it either. I got solder tho? Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beefred00013 Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 Get a dermal and make a straight line on the screw and not the thread the a drill with a flat bit should do it and some wd-40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broke_Audio_Addict Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 Remember that torque wrench i suggested......

Kyblack76 Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 I guess I'm lost why you didn't remove the hose at the clamp!?!? That piece you unbolted cant be that long. Anyway, remove the hose, and that barb piece, so you have more meat to get at the broke stud. Maybe you can chizzle it out. I looks like space may be a bitch here. You may wanna try a left handed drill bit. I would. It may catch and reverse it out. ( its left handed, so go the "loosen" direction and it will spin it out) if it dont, keep drilling the hole and move to a E Z OUT or spiral bit/extractor and pray.

SkarredSierra Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 You could always drill it out and retap the hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy 8s Drums Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 That looks like the thermostat housing. If so, just replace the housing. Shouldn't cost more than 20 or 30 bucks. Orion XTR amplifiers Skar subs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
