Re: Help with Bolt Removal



I don't think heat will solve your problem.
What ever you do, do not use an eze-out.
If you are able to use a lock nut, use a six point wrench to turn.
I think you are only going to have luck drilling it out, but maybe you're a lucky guy?

Jimmy I agree the threads are galled up, If the heat doesn't do it I try
to rethread  and see if I can double nut it.
Thanks Nico

Is there enough sticking out that you can cut the head off, and run a
die over the stud, screw on a nut, and another nut as a jam nut?
If not using the scatter shield as a guide( guaranteeing a good
center) cut the bolt off, and drill and re-tap the hole. Either retap
to correct size, or re-tap using a helicoil.
Stainless is famous for  galling up. Sounds like that's what it did.

While putting my BB on a engine run in stand, I was bolting up the
scatter shield using stainless ARP bolts. One went in harder than the
rest (they were screwed in by hand) so I used a 1/4 drive ratchet to get
this last one in. Now since it did not feel right I tried to back that
one out. It came out about half way and then locked up. I can turn it in
but it will not come all the way out. I then managed to round the bolt
head so I decided to cut the head of with a air saw so I could get the
scatter shield off. I now have enough of the bolt left sticking out of
the block that I can get vice grips on it but it will not turn out. I've
tried all sorts of penetrating oil to get it out but it locks up in the
same place. I don't have the capability to weld a nut onto it since it
is stainless so I effectively now have two locating dowels on the left
side of the block. I know I can probably get away with this  but still
would like to get it out. Any ideas would be appreciated.
