broke a bolt on the right side by the thermostat 1st bolt , has no head on it what do i need too do ? there nothing to grab onto . any ideas im in a bind and need to get it fixed ASAP

 

ive never taken the intake off of a dodge motor, but i HAVE had this problem with a small block ford. remove take the intake and extract the broken bolt with a pair of visegrips. hope this helps.

 

no head on bolt to grab with vise grips or anyhting like that

 

he has nothing to grab onto, id try to drill into bolt and then try to reverse it back out

 

what i mean is if the intake will come off with the bolt still in, remove it. there will be enough in the bolt standing there to grab on to with the visegrips then.

 

it might be possible to weld a nut onto what is left of the bolt if you have a welder.

 

I had that happen to me and what worked for me was to soak it with WD 40. Then with the left handed drill bit drill in to it and it came out (Lessens the tension).

 

Easy out???

 

drill out the center of the broken bolt and then use an ease out. be very careful not to break the drill bit as that just makes it a lot worse. start with a 1/8 or slightly smalller and then try the ease out but don't break it either. if it doesn't want to come out then use a bigger bit and drill a larger center and use a larger ease out.
