Re: [MBZ] sheared off bolt in knuckle

What about getting some left handed drill bits? I'm leery of easy-outs simply because they are super-hard and border on brittle... Not to mention that they swell the bolt that you put them in... -- John W Reames jwrea...@comcast.net Home: +14106646986 Mobile: +14437915905 On Jul 27, 2010, at

I did the exact same thing on My 2003 Outback about 3 weeks ago but I did not use the impact, I did it with the breaker bar. The car is from Chicago so I attributed it to corrosion and low grade asian materials. I drilled and tapped and replaced the bolt. Were you R R'ing the CV? Steve On Tue,

Re: [MBZ] sheared off bolt in knuckle

This one was from PA - wheel bearing needs replacing. Hopefully Kroil will make bolt removal easy so I don't need a ball joint (if the blue wrench is needed). The shop said maybe just leave it since all I did was twist the head off. I may and worry about it when I need a ball joint. Not

Rolf, Sounds great-congratulations. Same colors and basic condition as mine. IMHO it's hard to pay too much for a good 300D 2.5t with those miles and that repair history. I know that goes against much of the prevailing wisdom here, I think others have had great experiences with this model. Take it

I like the Autozam AZ-1. When it came out, Mazda unveiled a few prototypes that were rather interesting, including one that bore a striking resemblance to a Porsche 956. I want that one badly, but I can't find any information that suggests it was ever produced. My favorite description of the

First thing to do is to pull off the tube running from a splitter at the intake manifold to the driver side fender, and blow it out with air. That fixes about 90% of the turbo problems. I like the price of the repair. (assuming the routing is the same as on 86-87 OM603s) If that fails,

The wiring was slower to self destruct in the Diesels, but yes, 94-95 for sure, and I think 96. I don't remember the year range. Herr Doktor originally said it didn't affect Diesels, but later moderated his stance, and said that in a Diesel, it took longer for the insulation to self
