dirty little b*stard

the bolt that keeps the pulley on the exhaust cam just sheared.. looks like ill be walking tonight

 

the bolt sheared a little under 10mm from the head of the bolt.. i hope its not stuck in the cam. if it is ill probably have to put a standard cam back in with a new botl and look for a zetec-s exhaust cam.... BAH!

 

anyone have any tips on how to remove the remains of a sheared bolt?

 

Weld a nut to the end of it

 

drill it out, maybe have to helicoil although dunno if that'd be good enough for a cam

 

dont have a welder so thats out.. also if there was enough of a nub left sticking out of the cam to weld a nut to i could probably get it out with vice grips.

really just trying to think of a way to save the cam if the bolt is un reachable. i have my old cams so the car will be back on the road tomorrow if the weather holds or i can get her towed down to the local mod shop. i just dont fancy trying to track down a single zetec-s cam thats all...

btw if anyone happens to have a zetec-s exhaust cam let me know, i may be after one depending on how things look tomorrow.

what do you want to bet that my coilovers arrive tomorrow... been waitin, with tools ready for a week and this happens, i wouldnt be surprised one bit if they cam tomorrow
