I need some help. I was replacing my water pump on my 96Z and goddamit one of the long bolts broke off. I now have a nubb aout 3/4 of an inch sticking out of the block!!. I need some advise on how to get that damn thing out. It is now soaking in mystery oil and will be tomorrow also. I was thinking of a torch ( for the rest of the car) Any other bright ideas from the QC crew?

Get one of those long candles any color it doesnt really make a difference. Then use the torch to heat the "nub" until it's glowing orange, immedately put the candle on against the bolt as far towards the hole as possible for a few seconds. Some of it should go down the threads. Then just use some vice grips and it will literally just screw right out!!! ;D

You can slide an oversize nut over the nub and weld it to the nub. The heat from welding the nut on will help loosen the nub. Then just use an impact gun on it.

I would use the candle to set the mood first, then I would call a tow truck then have it towed far far away.

When you light those candles
Up there on that mantle, setting the mood
Well, I just lie there staring
Silently preparing to love on you
Well, I can feel the heat from across the room
Ain't it wild what a little flame can make you wanna do
I melt every time you look at me that way
It never fails, anytime, any place
This burn in me is the coolest thing I've ever felt
I melt
Don't know how you do it
I love the way I lose it, every time
What's even better
Is knowing that forever you're all mine
The closer you get, the more my body aches
One little stare from you is all it takes
I melt every time you look at me that way
It never fails, anytime, any place
This burn in me is the coolest thing I've ever felt
I melt
I melt every time you look at me that way
It never fails, anytime, any place
This burn in me is the coolest thing I've ever felt
I melt
Every time you look at me that way
I melt, I melt
I melt
