Customer States: Catastrophic FAILURE! Parts FELL OFF while driving! Chevrolet Silverado 5.3 4.8 https://youtu.be/-Hm-DFKBxpU
Seriously, this can't even be real. Get out of here. Look at that. We had it.
It was. It was in the palm of the hand and the thing busted right off. No way like that, right? There is the entire reason that we're here. I I Cannot believe this just happened after how easy this was this entire time we tripped at the Finish Line No way.
There's no way I Refuse to believe it. No way. Ah.
This just happened to me on my 2008 jeep. Had to remove the alternator, last bolt snapped with no room to drill, had to sell it for scrap price cause it wouldn't turn on. Only had 110k miles.
Weld a nut on it don't drill it
You're not a true mechanic if you never had the last bolt snap on you. You're also not a true mechanic if you call it quits and don't find a way to get it out.
honestly man, theres space to drill. It might not be comfortable & you might need a smaller drill but you can make it happen. could even crack out the air pencil drill.
cant drill it out?
Ford?
Yeah, I've been there. Not a fun day 😅
Always the last one!
This reminds me to go change out my manifold bolts 😂😂😂
Looks like it was cracked and ready to fail anyway.
I know you're pain been there had it happen more than once. Get over it and get back to work 😂
The wires going to the fuel level sensor have the polarity reversed. That’s why it’s reading it needs fuel. If it goes off when it’s full to top than just reverse the wires
Welding a nut to it might get it out without requiring a bunch more disassembly
Just mig weld a nut to it.
Weld a nut to it
90° drill and drop the engine mounts.
Takes a few extra min to weld a nut and get it out not even a problem
Looking for the rest of the story.
Exhaust manifold bolts should always be Heat resistant anti seized so that doesn't happen.
I yelled a loud f bomb for you
Bro if the bolt is super tight, bring the torch? why u keep forcing it?
Good excuse to buy a right angle drill
Fix it dude.
I could get it out with my welder by the time you stop whining about it.
If there’s space to see it theres space to drill it, they make hex drive drill bits for a reason, and as much as i hate Milwaukee they make some of the best for that typeof job, if you’re lucky you can get a plate guide to bolt up to the rest and use the drill bushings it comes with to make the job easier, like i did for the ford 5.4 triton, and then heres the best part, you grab a Dewalt 90 degree hex driver that’s impact rated and just go to work with whatever oil the kit says, transmission fluid seems to work best and be universally recommended. Now that is certainly a close one though I’ll give you that
Weld nut to stud, spin nut and stud out did these a lot
Dentist air grinder works great for those areas
Angle drill and extractor? Seriously curious
Better started wrechin', That head gotta come off or the engine is comin' out, one or the other.
Get you a 90 degree drill and a stubby bit 😂
Weld a damn nut to the broken part of the bolt and it will screw right out and you don't have to worry about the weld sticking to the cylinder head because the is aluminum in a MIG welder won't stick to that
Weld a nut onto it
I’ve never had one i couldn’t get out with a welder
Take that little tin heat shield off the cab, move the wiring out of the way, and you now have the room to either weld a nut on it or use a 90-degree 1/8" Chuck die grinder to cut a hole in the bolt that you can Hammer a Twist extractor in
I weld on them all day even below flush. No sweat especially on aluminum head. Never will I do anything but weld and turn them out
There is actually way to drill, just because you can't be creative you are drama queen
Time to grab the welder
Shhhh just fix it ❤
.."tripped at the finish line"…my new quote…thanks
Heat and chill and NEVER EVER use a rattle gun on exhaust nuts and bolts ,,,,
You Sir Learnt the hard way
Mig weld a nut on there will take like 5 min
I did the same thing on my Jeep zj with the 4.0 inline 6 engine. It was the bolt all the way in the back where I had no room to drill. I took the head off and tried to extract the screw but made it worse. Then I ended up spending $500 on a new head because I totally ruined the screw lol
