Someone good with a mig may be able to place dots of weld on the end of the bolt until another bolt can be carefully welded to that.

Wow - Its been years since I had to use one of those

You'd need to be pretty bloody smart with a mig to get adequate adhesion but not weld the flywheel at the same time!
To russ1111: is the flywheel still on the motor! If so, remove it. You should then have at least something protruding to carefully undo. But, I'd give it a good soaking with WD40 overnight before attempting to undo it.

Yeah they are a wonder tool aren't they - sort of thing you use once in ten years but if you don't have one, your toolkit is incomplete.

Yes, much skill and care would be needed.

OK, if nothing is protruding out, can you see/feel the back of the flange that the flywheel bolts to!

The tool is called a trichoto excruder. Doubt that Repco would have one as it's a bit more specialised - nasa type suppliers might stock them. But you may not need it yet - let me know about #15 above.

Have a closer look.

Yep at the flange on the motor. Is there any clearance BEHIND it!40wav - you're getting off subject at this stage.

Agreed. All I meant was he will have to determine if its the metriperial version or the impetric one. I guess it depends on the month of vehicle manufacture.

if you have snaped a easy out off in the hole you drilled you will need to drill that out with a tungsten drill bit. The remainder of the bolt shouldnt be to tight as the peice that snaped off would have been holding all the tension on the bolt. i would heat the bolt up a bit with the gas torch then try using a quatily easy out

thanks falcon will give it a go

cant get the easy out out.
owene,

Whoa, slow down. Heat around there ain't smart as there will be neoprene seals etc and unless you really know what yer up to.
Somehow I also doubt that even a tungsten drill will touch an easy out.
OP: is the rear of the flange (ie not the side that the flywheel mounted on) visible! In other words, can you see the non-head end of the busted bolt protruding thru the rear of that flange!

Well I know from experience that if the vehicle is a Jap one he'll need the metriperial one, if it's Yankie or European, it'll be the impetric one. I got mine as a pair, balanced and nitrided to match each other. Wouldn't be without them.
