fun today with a 1994 L-6 jeep today with broken bolts

[cz777]

the motor mount bracket [the one going to the block ] all three bolts where broken off in the block ! what a pain ! cut with bolt with a ez cutting wheel on a dremil tool with flex drive app. 1/8'' and turn out the stub with straight blade screw driver bit on a ratchet ...it has now 3 grade ''8''studs /nuts /lock washers ......waiting for parts ...

Be happy that just the bolts broke off and it didn't get to this severity:

OW

[Sir Sam]

I had an exhaust stud break off in the head about 2 mm in.

 

And of course that stuff is the hardest known material man and drill.

 

So I put everything else back on and said phuck it.
