austinsailor Posted March 30, 2011 Report Posted March 30, 2011 We've had several discussions about how to get bolts out if they're broken. I've mentioned that I use my TIG to do it. I broke the bolt that holds the e-brake in place, the one on the other side from the springs that is kept in place by a piece of tie wire. I tried to build it up by welding it up on the side the head was on, but it's down in a hole and difficult. The back side is flush with that bar that sticks out from the transmission. So, this time I welded on the back side and screwed it on through. Since we'd had recent discussions about this, I took a couple pictures. I have yet to run across a bolt I couldn't remove this way. I know not every one has a TIG handy, but if you can get to one, this is a pretty good way to remove them. The first picture is about half way out, the second will give a good idea of what is going on. Quote
