accomplished with the aid of a 7X16 lathe, a beer can, some crazy glue and

Good news! We pulled the pulleys and there appears to be no damage to the
crankshaft. The 2 keyways are semicircular, the keys are little cylinders
about 9mm in diameter and about 10-12 mm long. I've never seen other than
rectangular keys before. Apparently once the Belleville washers are gone

Congratulations!
The bolt remains will have to be drilled to be pulled. We may be able
to get this done on my boy's next

Good news
Find out if it is the same bolt as a 79 300cd non-turbo. If it is I have

The original is a 10.9 (the metric equivalent of 8). Yes, I'll not go lower

rather the bolt break than the female threads in the crank be damaged, so
I'm going to call the 10.9 optimal and not even consider a 12.9.
A quick tip:
If you have access to a metal lathe, or someone who does, take the broken
bolt to the lathe and drill a pilot hole through the head and the body of
the broken section of the bolt.
Use your best judgement as to the size of the pilot drill hole, doesn't
have to be large but should be

I also suggest the use of Left turn drill bits for the last two or three

the broken part right out as you drill it.
What he said. Also, I have had pretty

plan to use once the pilot hole(s) are drilled.
