Stegall 10-01-2002, 10:30 AM i was bolting up the light weight flywheel the other night and the last bolt i was putting in got tight half way in. i tryed to back it back out and it broke. so now I have half a bolt stuck in the crank. iver herd horrible storys of unblanaced flywheels breaking and cutting peoples legs/feet off so im kinda at a loss as what to do. i really really really hate teh idea of trying to drill it out. Texas89LX 10-01-2002, 11:37 AM you may be able to get it with an ez-out it rips into the top part of the bolt and you can slowly pull it out just dont break the ez-out, drilling out hardened steel is fun! <img src="http://www.spartanburgracing.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> Stegall 10-01-2002, 11:59 AM its in there TIGHT.... Uglymexican19 10-01-2002, 01:03 PM well i would go for the eazy out and some raw muscle from cody's arms. 10-01-2002, 07:46 PM You didnt listen to me and cleveland...WE told you several days ago how bad unbalanced flywheels are 91lx 10-01-2002, 08:32 PM Drill a hole in the bolt and beat in an EZ-out. Thats how I get all the bolts I break out . Im not that bad anymore I use a torque wrench on bolts I dont want to break.
