Hey team,

Hopefully you can help me with this. I got my new speedo cable today and i went to go put it in (trimatic) i was bolting the gearbox end of the cable on and the bolt snapped leaving half a bolt in the gearbox, any ideas on how to get it out and what size bolt i would need to get to replace it. Please reply as i really need it done.

Also im heading off to Flynns Wreckers in Cooma tomorrow hopefully to get some parts and a parts ute, ill post pictures tomorrow when i get a chance, if that utes in a better shape then the one ive got i may end up moving everything accross and using my old one as a long term project.

Cheers,

Alex

A left handed drill bit will get it out.
Serious, they do make them.
They are designed to drill in the anticlockwise direction.
As you try to drill through the center of the bolt,
it will grip, & spin the thread out for you.
If it doesnt come out, use an EZY OUT in the hole you've just drilled.

Good Luck
Jeff

.... and if you are too miserable to buy one (like me) - just sharpen a normal one the other way, it will do the job.

Or..............

Swap over the extension housing with another one.
How the hell did you snap that bolt?

hahaha, never underestimate my stupidity smooth, i have no idea how it snapped, ive undone and bolted it on before but for some reason today it just... snapped. ill try all those tricks tomorrow

On the way to Flynns,call in to see your bank manager

Hey guys, is there any way of removing the extension housing without having the remove the whole gearbox, if i have to remove the whole gearbox then ill just take out the whole engine and gearbox and then swap the engine with a Commodore VK red engine with fuel injection
