damn renault!

 

The two on the right are studs, the two on the left spun their heads almost instantly.

Just Empty Every Pocket lol

Haha

 

Man, that is *****IN

 

Well, the pump is finally off. It's been one of those lots of cursing and alcohol days. Hopefully I can extract the 4 broken bolts tomorrow.

 

Damn man... those broken bolts give me a nauseas feeling. ****ing hate that. Here's hoping they come out easy for ya...

 

heat em up

 

I had a ac bolt with the head snapped off stuck and just pb blasted it. Came back later heated it and got it to turn out with vice grips.

 

I think Auto Zone rents a stud extractor...

 

That's scary with an aluminum block.

Hoping that works for me.

I may look into that.

 

I hear you about the aluminum. Hope they come out with just PB blaster.

 

Damn man, nice find!
I know the feeling of scrubbing and scrubbing for hours. I too had all kinds of tree junk on the exterior of mine, but with a wash, some Bleche-Whit and another wash, the paint looks brand new.

I hope i see thins thing sometime. A diesel XJ... crazy.

 

man not to be a pain, but could you snap some more pics? I mean of everything! any identifying marks on the tranny or tcase? whats different on the exhaust? which axles does it have?

 

Yea no problem. Give me some time, I've been fighting theae broken bolts for a couple days now.

 

Heat with a MAP gas torch and hose them down with PB Blaster. Give it a couple of whacks with a hammer and try to get them to turn.
I suppose that it depends on how much time you have. It has taken me a month to get the cylinders off of an old Kawasaki 2 stroke .....
You could use the old water pump as a drill guide to drill the bolts out and insert Helicoils, or my favorite Timeserts. You could be done in a couple of hours.
Good luck,
Doug
