<VV> Crank gear issue

[Mark Durham]

I agree with Dennis. none of the bolts should be bottomed out, and the
reverse drill may do it. Mark Durham

The bolts are grade 8.  You probably can't drill through them, but try
using a reverse drill bit. Sometimes they will back out while trying
to drill them.

Good info Seth – I looked at the tool and came to the same conclusion
– however – I have four bolts broken off inside the gear, and the
other two holes are useless. Now how do I use this tool? I’m not sure
of the grade of the broken bolts, so can they be drilled out? I fear
#3 is my best option at this point. I did once split a case to replace
a crank with the heads still on, but still lots of work, and the
remainder of the engine remains a mystery with this process. As an
extra bonus, the po re-installed the transaxle with the lower driver
side of the case missing – broke clean off!
thanks again,
Garry
