  • need to secure stud for waterneck

    Has some 'issues' getting a broken waterneck bolt out, and ended up having to hack away some alum from the head, now I can't get any of the jb weld to hold it, is there anyting out there sets up fast and is tapable?

        how bout if you use a drill bit, drill the center of the bolt out. And go buy yourself a snap-on easy out set fro 45 bucks....well worth on money

          That would have been great if the drill bit didnt break in the bolt and the easy-out didn't snap off also(
