Okay, I did it. Got them out okay, but after cleaning the crap out of the holes, while trying to put the water pump bolts back in, I snapped the left hand block bolt off. Last turn, snapped about 1" off the end.

******!

Pull the motor?

Thanx.:mad:

what are you talking about dude, did I miss another post you were talking about this problem in.

snapped bolts are no big deal. Get a small drill bit and drill out the center and then get an Easy Out and crank them out of there

That's what I was thinking, but someone in one of the older posts had to pull the motor out to fix it...

I didn't think so.

I'll try a reverse drill bit first, if no dice, then easyouts.

Thanks for restoring my sanity...
