So, since I bought my Cobra back in Nov. I have fought with every single nut and bolt I've removed. The jackass who owned it before me used loc-tite on everything. When I recently installed my beefed up tranny I had to remove the intake to to get to the top two tranny bolts. Which required a propane torch to heat all the bolts(upper and lower intake) just to get them out without snapping them. However, the bolt over runner 7 did snap. I just got the MMR intake bolt kit and installed it, but I can't get the broken bolt out. It doesn't cause any vacuum leak and I am not super concerned about it except for the fact that after I get back from Korea next year I plan on a low boost turbo application.

This brings me to my question, anyone have any pointers on how to remove a headless, weak intake bolt that has loc-tite on it?

 

You could drill it out. I had to do it with an exhaust manifold bolt on a 2500 Silverado. Drill it out, and then re-tap the hole. It's a pain in the ***, but that's what I'd do.

 

Lol yeah, I was hoping to avoid that pita. Thanks though.

 

They sell reverse drill bits... They have a sharp head, and screw into the "stuck" bolt, in reverse rotation... Once it's in and locks up, it will screw the bolt out of there... You will need a strong drill...

 

the reverse screw is a great idea but i can see it breaking loose without it being an air drill, and i would think that would bouce off...it sucks but it looks like drill out and tap is best bet man
