What do you guys think about my idea on the mounting plate....two bolts would hold it, wouldn't you think?

Well, I've boogered the threads on the stud with the vise-grips...but I could run a die over it and clean them up. I wonder if I could run two nuts down and lock them together....then use a breaker bar to get it out?

The attaching points should be triangulated that's why they use 3 mounting points. You can get this out if you go about it the right way, a screwdriver probably wont allow enough force (leverage) to be generated. Hang in there.
If the vise grips didn't work USE HEAT and penetrating oil
A breaker bar will shear it off.
Soak it and walk away for a while.
SOAK IT SOAK IT SOAK IT HEAT HEAT HEAT TAKE YOUR TIME

That sucker will come out. Now that you have the bolt exposed, weld a piece of 3/8" round stock in the " T " position. Use the Kroil I will be happy to send you if you will e-mail me your address. Go slow, be patient.
Dave, you ever use the Kroil?? IF not let me know and I will send you a can. The stuff is unblieveable!!!!! !!!!!

Could I weld a socket on the end of it, then use an impact wrench? I really hate the thoughts of heating that thing....I've already got the tranny together and ready to put in the car...that's all I need is a cracked tailhousing.....

You need to go slow! The impact will probally twist the bolt off again. It needs to be worked back and forth just a little at a time until you can get the penetrating oil working for you. Patience grasshopper.

Blykins,
DO NOT use an impact .....wrong kind of energy....you want EEAASSEE it out..... A vise grip will snap it off now,,,Kroil and heat in alternate will let it come out.
Good luck ,KK

Alright...I got it. Like you all stated, it needed penetrating oil and heat. I finally got fed up, stuck it on the front of the four-wheeler and drove it up to the shed where the torch was...put a little heat on it, more penetrating oil, and a pair of vice-grips twisted it right out. I feel a lot better now. I was getting frustrated and very impatient.....
I wanna thank all of you for your input. I knew I could count on you....
And thanks Mr. Kirkham...that was a nice offer you made. You're a good guy....I don't care what Brent Fenimore says about you.  |

Congrats...it is a great feeling to get those naughty pigs out.
Heat, oil, and patience.
Chuck, I would love some! Never heard of it. Always willing to try new ideas as many of mine are bummers.

Blykins: Did you ever get the feeling that somewhere, some skunk (or opossum) was laughing his head off at you? lol!!!

Yes, I have given a conspiracy theory some thought...maybe the possum's friends sneaked in and put some red Loc-Tite on that stupid bolt...hehehehe
Putting all varmints aside, all that matters is that I kicked that tailhousing's butt....

best way to get it out!
Put a snug fitting nut on the stud, Weld the nut to the stud, let cool, rapp it with a hammer, wrech it out.
If that dont work, take a pencil and paper and drawl it out!  |
