Been slowly working on the car, as time permits.
(You can skip this paragraph if yawl want, just listing what's to be done): Replacing head gaskets, intake gasket, exhaust manifold, Opti & vent harness, trans cooler lines, oil cooler lines, O2 sensors, plugs/wires, oil & filter, fuel pump, maybe the tank straps, maybe exhaust, belt tensioner, prolly all the vacuum hoses, brake lines if need be.
Only broke 2 bolts up until now.
While pulling the harmonic balancer, the bolts to the Advanced Auto puller snapped off in the balancer. They weren't the right size, instead of buying the bolts online for the puller I used the ones that just fit, had to force it a little, figured it would hold. NOPE!
I can get two out, but one is snapped off taking the entire cavity for the threads. I have a set to remove it, that's gonna be a pita.
I had an idea to use a pry bar, mallet and PB blaster to get it off. Couldn't go full retard with the hammer because it's 2am and there are folks sleeping in the house. For now it's soaking in PB blaster. Maybe will try and beat and pry on it in the morning.
Yawl have any suggestions?
