HOW TO DO AN ADVANCED SEARCH.

Mon Jul 08, 2013 3:56 pm by Admin


For the benefit of 944Hybrids users there are two search functions available for you to use.

After you click on the upper search option, a drop down box appears. At the bottom of this box is a radio button marked "Advanced …

Have a challenge any suggestions. After 20+ years I had a cross-member bolt refuse to let go and stayed in the frame rail Sad .

I was thinking after removing all the wiring, lines, and other items I would cut a window in the side of the frame rail (smudge mark area) to get to the top of the bolt and give it a good soak and try a stud remover if enough is protruding. Any other thoughts.

You could just drill it out and try and re-tap for the same size or drill and re-tap larger and run a larger bolt.

Buy a good 12mm (or whatever size thats closest to the inner diameter of that hole) drill bit and get the bolt to concave a bit. The inner diameter of the bung/spacer (or whatever that thing is called) will act as a guide for the drill bit.

Once it has concavity, you can use a small [~1/4"] drill bit to start a pilot hole and then work your way up to whatever extractor size youre using.

Since its kinda vague...I made a pictar.... yes the arrow and bit orientation is wrong....its late. Laughing

That's what I would try first! Try to drill straight so if need be be able to drill to bolt size till you get to nut. That removes cross-member at least and hopefully you can run tap and end up with original threads.
