Thermostat housing ... bolt broke
Posted by TomA (more from TomA) on Mon, 20 Oct 2003 20:18:26

Replacing thermostat tonight on my '86 900T. There are two bolts that hold the thermostat housing to the cylinder head. The lower of the two bolts snapped, leaving a nice little stub on the cylinder head boss.
I've been working w/ a drill and EZ-outs, but the bolt stub is so securely seized, it still won't move.
I'm looking for a creative approach to getting the remainder of the bolt out.
Has anyone been there/done that?
Thanks.
