Broken Intake Boot Bolt!!!

[jafraune]

painful project. Sorry to dude.

Yeah one little bolt can screw up a lot....but on the plus side we found that a motor mount was toast...

when i worked in a machine shop we had some stuff from a company called goodson
was a wax stick that looked like a pencil
you would heat up the stubborn bolt then melt this stuff in and walla the bolt would usually come out

Thats interesting never heard/seen that before.

[jafraune]

Thanks for the update....sounds good early next week should work out good. Since tongiht doesnt work and gone all weekend... I called diggers and got the 06 motor mounts (all 4) as well as the intake boots...should be here tues/weds they said....

Im such a sucker for these 9's

 

[POLZIN]

Thanks POLZIN, actually I havent been working on the sled too much myself...I have to give the credit to crix, he has done 99% of the work....but I think he knows a place that can get this done..so I think we will be ok. But I do apprieciate it a lot.

So it will probably be another week before its together again...oh well snows not falling to hard...


Jack

No problem. I was assuming you could find somone a lot closer anyhow but it never hurts to offer.

SWEEEEEEEEEET!!

no MOD the heck outta that thing now,

 

[crix]

sweet he cleaned up all the holes now you just need to order all your parts up buddy

Friday we should be able to throw it all back together if you get all the stuff for it I dont think im going out of town I am supposed to be on call but we will see about that

Also we should upgrade all the motor mount bolts to grade 8 I think that would be a good idea after reading dogmeats thread
