Thread: Rear Problem

Tweet

JESE GUYS all i wanted was a suggestion i didnt mean to get something started i tried all day sunday with no luck hey sparky were do you get this drill bit mine broke exactly were denny says they break i cant do any thing till i get that pin out of there

I have a place here in Gainesville called Bernies Tool Co. Any local tool supplier should have long drill bits.

Sorry for the added attraction. Some here seem to enjoy bashing.

i drilled my but off yesterday i could look in the hole with ba flash lite and hardly made adent in it is it hardened steel im working under the car am i goinig to have to take the rear out i had to take the bearing cap off

before you spend a lot of money buying stuff, if there no treads left on the bolt then the drill ant gonna do you no good. and if there is no streads on it, it should come out any way. have you moved the pin one way or another to see if it will line up better?
if there is no streads it should drop out. like denny said hit it a little harder

theres no threads its broke half way inside the cross pin ismacked it good with a hammer i used a magnet on the end of the whole thought it would suck it through the whole as i hit on it its stuck man i think i might have to get another rear unless someone can come up with another idea

i dont know what you are doing, people get them out every day and without a drill belive it or not. probably done beat the end up with the drill bit by now and if you dont have streads on the bolt you are wasting your time with that drill bit. its just spining in the hole. you are pushing it in further with the drill.

As i said previously, there is a burr left when it breaks. If you drill it with a LH bit it stands a good chance of coming right out (I have done this many times). Even if it doesn't come right out you now have a hole with which to stick an extractor in. Either way you're making progress.

As a last resort I have drilled a small (3/32") hole opposite the pin and knocked it back through with a small drift.
