- Yee! That's no fun. Nosiree. One big buzz-hassle. No advice on how to remove it beyond the usual easy-out solution, which should go pretty smoothly if the threads were nicely cleaned and lubricated b

- I had the pleasure of a broken head bolt on my 1980 Olds Cutlass 5.7L diesel engine. It was grade 9 (as hard as the drill bit for the easy out). I got the remains of the bolt out in less than 2 minu

- Curt: If there's any of the bolt sticking up out of the head, a set of channel-locks will do nicely to remove it, I should think. (In Virginia, they call these Vise-Grips.) If there's nothing left t
