Well, the torque wrench had a broke washer in it that cause the clicking mechanism to work inconsistently. Now I have a new and upgraded torque wrench.

The problem now is that one of the rod cap bolts I need to replace is rounded off and I can't seem to remove it. Any suggestions as to removal procedures? I have not done anything yet as I need some "expert" advice before diving in.

Can I simply drill it and use an "easy out"?

Jim

I have used this technique a couple of times, it might work for you if you have access to a welding machine. Select a nut just large enuf to slip over the bolt and slide it down next to the rod nut. Spot weld the two nuts together, use larger wrench for the new nut to loosen. If the head of the bolt is rounded, then use a small nut that will sit on top of the bolt and spot weld. You will find that the heat will help loosen the nut and will not require as much torque.
Good Luck..... ..

Jim,
I had a friend that bought some special sockets from sears. These socket was for removing rounded off head bolts. It seem to work fairly good. Not sure if they still have this kind yet or not? I have taken a small air cutoff wheel and re-squared the heads and using the next size smaller socket in metric or english to remove it. Not sure if you will have enough room to do that? Good luck hope you can get her without drill and a easy out. Mike

My son bought me a set of the Craftsman tools for removing worn out bolts.

Love them. Haven't found anything that they won't remove as long as there is room. You can use a wrench or socket on them.
