AARRH! At my wits end!	Tue, 19 July 2005 10:22

Hey all. I have recently got myself an ST162, with a jap 3sge 2nd gen it it.. Anyway, on the weekend I was trying to change the timing belt and was attempting to remove the drivers side engine mount... and what happens? I round the nut on it. FUCK! So I have another few goes at removing it.. no luck.. my old man comes home.. 3 hours later, its more rounded more than ever. I pack up. leave it. Monday night, a mechanic mate of mine comes round.. has a look. "its pretty fucked" he says. OK.. we go and get his air hacksaw. Awsome tool! Anyway, we have a go at cutting through the nut and bolt after about 30 mins.. we are about 1mm in.. OK thats not going to work. tuesday night (tonight) I get out the drill, and start drilling away the bolt. After 2 houts, Im about 1 cm in.. Does anyone have ANY idea what the fuck I can do? In total, Ive spent like 10 hours over this thing, and all I can see is that ive fucked it up worse.. The next move is to try and mig weld a socket to the bolt and get it that way. What does anyome think? PLEASE HELP! -Shaun [Report message to a moderator]
