    It sucks you have to buy a new block

    Welcome to Canada , Ray!!!

    I feel your pain! All of us have had a bad day like that!

  5. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars A Dot In The Shark says:

    Ended up needing a replacement engine. There was hope until an EZ-Out was tried and broke.

  6. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Clearanceman2 says:

    And now we know that water pump was original to the car. This is one reason to change these things at least every other timing belt.

  7. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jochen Stacker says:

    Das ist ganz großer Scheißdreck!
    Commiserations.😢

  8. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Paul Grimm says:

    Crappy grad bolts

  9. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Clearanceman2 says:

    Ray, you're awesome to admit this. I mean you went wrong with the easy out getting stuck or you would have been able to drill it out. Once the engine is out of the car, you might still be able to drill it out. Most people wouldn't have admitted this mistake which has happened to people before of course.

  10. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Skysurfer says:

    One thing to think about as a help… leaving the casting in place, use the hole the bolt come out of as a guide for drilling, to get pretty much dead centre of the broken stud. After that… who knows? Great video, Ray. Happens to everyone, now & again.

  11. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars lovetolearn 52 says:

    This is going to sound crazy but i quit doing oil changes at my shop for this exact reason. A quick oil change turns in to a 2hr affair because the guy before cross thread,stripped or jerry rigged the plug. Then the customer says it wasn't like that when it came in. Im not blaming the customer because they had no clue.

  12. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Erin Sherman says:

    I instinctively cursed on your behalf when the bolt broke lol

  13. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars John A Fleenor says:

    That is such a horrible feeling when that happens, especially after taking the time to work it back and forth for so long.

    I pretty much had this same thing happen during a water pump swap out myself. Also had the wandering hole, but it happened while drilling out a broken drill bit instead of an easy-out. Lucky for me, it was a steel block.

    I was able to grind down the broken drill bit for a flat surface and got it drilled out. Then I filled the hole by welding it. Ground the weld flat and re-drilled and tapped a new hole. Problem solved.

    I’m not sure of that was the “correct” way to solve the issue, but that is what worked. It was a “do or die trying” type of repair as they needed their car back the same day to be able to get to work the next day.

    As if the time frame wasn’t bad enough to deal with, then one of those bolts breaking off just send your heart straight to your toes. 😡

  14. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars James Hook says:

    is it possible to drill out everything (EZ Out, bolt) and insert a heli-coil(?)

  15. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars neville says:

    Suggest that you speak to Eric O.

  16. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mike Krause says:

    Should have cut the head off the bolt, the pump would come off and you would have full access to the bolt shank.

  17. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mazda626gtturbo says:

    I'll take reasons I don't want a Subaru for $200

    been there, done that, but it's still save able…🫣🫣🫣

  19. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Hola! rob burdack says:

    best thing i ever did was invest in low temp aluminum brazing rods … drill out larger than the bolt back fill the hole with the rod redrill and tap job done

  20. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars yensabi says:

    Been there a few times , you just feel like shit when it happens but then you gotta get it out. 😂

  21. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Captain Butt nuggets says:

    Yep I hate that!

  22. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Wim O says:

    Scheiße (sorry)

    NO cut the head off and get the oxytetracycline out

  25. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars TLN47 says:

  26. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Pete Harman says:

    Happens to the best of us. never sucks any less

  27. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Stephen Westmoreland says:

    Bad Luck Ray. Sometimes that’s the Way the Cookie Crumbles. Just keep Going forward my Friend. What’s happened has gone. Steve Westmoreland 👨🏻‍🦳♿️🇬🇧🛠️❤️👍👍

  28. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Damoinion says:

    Been there, done that. Time to break out the heli-coil set.

  29. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Geordie Gixxer says:

    Oh no… 😮

  30. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars MickyMouse999 says:

    All our hearts dropped for you as that dreaded moment the torque decreased and you realised it had snapped. We all know how near every rusted bolt is to a disaster.

  31. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jerel Lawson says:

    Should have used antiseize if it's in aluminum.

  32. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jake Jakeman says:

    Something like this happens every time I touch my car to fix it.

  33. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Dave J says:

    It's far from ruined.
    You can still get that bolt out even with the easi-out broke in there.
    However, i keep telling you in the comments that heat is the key but you obviously don't read comments. .because you obviously know better.

  34. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Chris Frank says:

    That sht's so fked up, take that sht out and fix it. lol

  35. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Square Wheel says:

    This was as tense as the last 2 minutes of a tied football game .

  36. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Maxime Jette says:

    yup…i know exactly how that feel

  37. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars spelunkerd says:

    I've had so many complications and failures with easy outs through the years, I try to avoid them now. For drilling out a recessed bolt you can use a hinge bit that comes with a guide to center the drill bit (search "hinge bit set"), or maybe use some kind of bushing if you can find one of the right size. Especially in aluminum you've only got one chance to drill the pilot hole straight, since any bit will tend to walk to the side and damage softer aluminum. I feel the pain, not easy. Bravo to Ray for posting this experience, life is not all roses.

  38. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars JESUS YESHUA EL ELYON elshadai Adon Ori haaretz says:

    Just add more silicone rtv and put all other bolts back itl work just fine

  39. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Darker Binding says:

    Ouch 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱

  40. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Tim Morello says:

    Drill it out and throw a coil in it.

  41. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars DirtyMig0pp7 says:

    Hey Ray. Let me come work for you. I. A good welder and mechanic 😅

  42. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Rick Shelton says:

    I hate it when two dissimilar metals meet and then bond together. I have had some luck using liquid nitrogen on the steel bolt. the aluminum freaks out and said "Okay man, it's all yours"

  43. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars BEASTLYDROK says:

    Just take the pump off drill out the rest of the bolt and extract replace and reuse gasket if it’s new and never been crushed fully it’s not the worst thing ive ever seen had plenty of turbo down pipes strip out or break completely so there’s no taking the engine out. u get to extract in the smallest spot right on the firewall

  44. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Gerald Schittenhelm says:

    When you start swearing in German you know you REALLY messed up 😭🤬

  45. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars fubar totale says:

    Just a shout out to all the geniuses blaming this on it being a Subaru, like this has never happened to any other car make.

  46. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars fubar totale says:

    Heat the easy out to anneal it.
    There is a type of EDM that is designed to disintegrate taps, there might be one rigged with extension leads.

    If you gave a known good motor there, a used one is a crap shoot, try to save the original.

  47. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jay Dee says:

    Should have hit it with some heat

  48. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Tim Johnson says:

    Left handed drill bits. Get some. It'll make this easy work.

  49. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Dean Young says:

    I honestly believe that any “good” welder could still get it out even with broken easy out.

  50. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Bear G says:

    Just cut the water pump. Off…

  51. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars StonyBologner says:

    My heart sank a bit watching this vid, I had hoped the ole nut trick was gonna work

  52. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Charles Wilson says:

    Time for collaboration with eric o

  53. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Walter Butscher says:

    That's a Subie for ya

  54. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Michael Hart says:

    I feel ur pain brother . Might try making more room weather moving stuff to get to it or if it has to be pull the motor out to be able to get better access

  55. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Danny Linc says:

    Wow, i coulda had a V8.
    She needs Teflon

  56. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Steve Schaff says:

    Sometimes your the windshield others your the bug… always enjoy your videos, sorry for the bad luck

  57. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars steven says:

  62. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars TheHoneyBadger says:

    Did we almost hear you say, "Scheiße!"?

  63. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars FJB2H311 says:

    Nothing ruins your day worse than a broken bolt or stud, happens to the best of us I'm afraid. 🔧

  64. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Nick says:

    Check out the latest from south main auto. Eric shows how to get broken bolts out.

  65. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Garrett Lombardi says:

    The worse feeling ever😢

  66. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jerry says:

    Drill out the broken stud and place a threaded stud in and put a nut on the end.😊

  67. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Robert Mcculloch says:

    And this is what turns a 30 min job into an all day affair and the customer gets mad for the price and time..

  68. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Best Pixel Repair says:

    Wrote under the video- metal sleeve into the corresponding hole of the old pump. Old pump back in place. Slowly drill out whatever is in the hole using the old pump as a guide hole (using a lubricant to protect the sleeve). Metal sleeve is to keep the hole straight without chewing the pump guide hole.

  69. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Nate Marchant says:

    Do like every Subaru owner and put a self tapper in that bitch😂😂😂

  70. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jerold Lyons says:

    There can't be a worse feeling than when a bolt breaks like that !

  71. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Thugnificiant Gucci says:

    Big balls 🏈🏈… In your face lol

  72. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Awesomus Maximus says:

    Ow

  73. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars John Wells says:

    Just wave your magic wand and make that problem go away.😁 As if..

  74. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Daniel G Bishop JR says:

    Try to never pound in a easy out, let it cut in if possible….🤔👍

  75. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Daniel G Bishop JR says:

    I commented on the first video, the same as the title. 😊
    Broken easy out was the nail in the coffin. 😮

  76. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jeff says:

    Yikes !

  77. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars 4x4Scout says:

    Take the engine to a good machinist and see what he has to say. To them a broken easyout is just a bit more of a challenge.

  78. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jason lo says:

    It's weird I subscribed but never see any content in the shorts

  79. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars James Bruno says:

    🙈

  80. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars mr Gardner says:

    That's where a torch is required

  81. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars julius liles says:

    Damage caused by corrosion or failed parts should be the financial responsibility of the customer! Perhaps you could work this stipulation into the work order. Not your fault or customers, however it's not your vehicle.

  82. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Arthur Apostolopoulos says:

    I think you can still save this even with the easy out stuck in there…..

  83. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars retina gland says:

    lots of ways to fix this besides throwing out the block, you got this

  84. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jerry Moore says:

    what would mr.subaru 1387 do?

  85. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars trolling dirty says:

    Difference between a Subaru and tampon? Tampon comes with its own tow rope.

  86. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Bob Smith says:

    Oh no😫

  87. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Frank’s Wood Studio says:

    The broken ez-out is a bummer but there are carbide drill bits available. For the future get some left hand drill bits. Those work great by starting small and drilling progressively larger holes. Usually when you get close to the tap drill size the remaining bolt will spin out with drilling.

  88. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Cornelius Jebidiah says:

    Aluminum threads and steel bolts stupid subaru

  89. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Donald Huffman says:

    Hey Ray Mr. Eric oh just put a video on how to pull out broken bolts how he does it might want to take a look at it he does it just pretty much like you but he put it on nuclear and he uses a torch before he tries to turn the bolt just a thought have a great day hope everything works out for you

  90. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Cynthia Gray says:

    plenty of vids showing how to get that steel stud out. mayhap you can fix it yet! (but you have to take the engine out first)

  91. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars ed jacobs says:

    Same garbage with a Jeep 02 sensor. 3 days.

  92. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Dwight Yost says:

    When you pull the motor drill it tap it put an oversized bolt problem solved

  93. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Steven Berg says:

    Its a bummer but don't panic!
    Drill it out to next size. Tap it etc.
    You don't need a new block.

  94. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jennifer WhiteWolf says:

    This actually hurt to watch in the video this short is from. Everyone that has worked on a machine has this nightmare at some time in their life.

  95. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Michael Baron says:

    Average bolt removal in the Rust Belt.

  96. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars John Mccrea says:

    Give it more thought I am sure you will find the answer👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

  97. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars CLAY STONE says:

    I have a similar issue but I think your problem is worse. Let me know what you figured out please?

  98. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars OTB Cliff says:

    If you would have just used the right drill bit

  99. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ricardo Cabrera says:

    Could have just heated up with a torch slightly and then used a stud remover….
