ChrisLeeBoost Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Anyone any ideas on extracting a snapped cam cap bolt? Torquing them back down earlier and inlet side bolt snapped when tightening ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MR-2 Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Those snap very easy, just 15Nm is max and have broken those often under that. Use some furtinure bolt or similar if can´t find proper bolt, works, not so much stress... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5e colin Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 if your lucky use a 2mm drill bit and tap is a very small screwdriver in the hole for grip and try loosening if not it will he helicoil jobby Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisLeeBoost Posted April 9, 2016 Author Share Posted April 9, 2016 I have screw extractors here I'm gonna try drill a small hole and extract the broken bolt! Hopefully it won't be too hard to get out any idea how I can stop metal filings getting into the head from drilling Quote Link to post Share on other sites

.ep82. Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 One mine broke and I was lucky enough to turn the bolt wit a small flat head and it came out handy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Johnboy GT Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Could try putting a groove in it and using a flat head screwdriver? John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisLeeBoost Posted April 9, 2016 Author Share Posted April 9, 2016 Is there any way of getting crank pulley cover off without removing the pulley? I haven't got a crank pulley remover handy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
