Ever see a right angle drill adapter ? Doing it with a reg drill not gonna cut it . No saying it cant be done with removal of suspension parts to maybe get straight shot at bolts.

 

You got this store....http://www.bunnings.com.au/p-n-heavy...ment-_p6320592

 

I thought about the right angle adapter but there still wont be enough room to fit it in, the adapter you posted is for 1/4" hex drive unfortunately.

I don't know if what i have planned will work but with what i have access to its my best shot

I'm extremely persistent, and for what experience I lack, I make up for in creativity

I'll make sure to post a few snap's as it progreeses

 

They make hex drive drill bits.

 

As I remember with motor dropped all the way down this prevents straight drilling.

 

Yes but the issue I saw was I think it was you that mentioned you needed to shorten the drill bit also to make it fit and I could run into issues with these as I would need to shorten from the sharp end.

I must say i do appreciate all the options/idea your offering

My plan is to actually drop the engine threads below the rails.

Disconnect a few hoses, remove steering box, drop axles etc

 

Yep, You saved me a Fan, a Shroud and maybe even a Radiator! This would have definitely sucked 20 miles out in the Boonies with my Wife in my ear asking me "What did you do?" lol.


Knowledge of these quirks is why I am glad I came and jumped into this site. Priceless Sir!

 

it's not quality stuff but it's cheap and usually gets the job done

 

Motor only drops so far .

 

Every now and then a broken bolt is surprisingly loose in there. Just a dremmel cutting wheel slot on the end for a screwdriver might do it.

 

Got the battery, airbox, alternator, both fans, radiator hoses off and its dropped about an 2 inch's

Removing the engine mounts from the rails as my air con hardlines are limiting me know.

Once they are off I'll see how it goes and then if need be I'll undo the transmission mounts for that extra bit

 

Your right hand drive.

 

Sure am

 

 

Well the plan appears to be working, here it is in its current state





I've got the strap holding the opposite side of the block to create a slight twist so the broken bolts are slightly angle down.

As you can see the engine has dropped a few inch's lower than normal, I'll actually measure the difference for my curiosity





So with the right hand side gearbox crossmember an inch below normal and the slight twist helping I can now easily reach 2 of the 3 bolts.

I'm going to try and remove the 2 first and see how I feel after it as to my next move.
