Ya it may be good for fixing crankcases, but it is good enough for holding on a sprocket??

Ohh c'mon, I dont want to pay for hot welding, I hate spending money on this old beater[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] I need a new ATV, I have enough money for one, but I'm not allowed to spend it[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img]


Well tonight I was just tightening up the exhaust bolts, and THE OTHER ONE BUSTED IN HALF, OHH DAMN...NOW I HAVE TO DO THIS ALL OVER AGAIN[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img], It broke at about the same length as the other one did.

I'M STARTING TO HATE MY 200sx

why didnt anyone tell you to heat it up and back it out with a vise grip right away???? you guys are making simple things sound like the hardest things to do. not trying to **** anyone off but i just have to say, come on guys, lets think things through a little? before any of you say it... well what happens if it doesnt grip? if its tight that som bitch isnt going to slip! if it does, invest in a new one cause yours is shot [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

LBZ- Thats how I got the first bolt out, just heated the bolt up and turned it out with vise grips.

But now the other bolt broke so I have to do it all over again, but its hard to get at the bottom bolt with vise grips because there is very little room. So its gonna be hard getting out this bottom bolt.

First its an '87...I dont know why I was taking it off, who cares what I was doing[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img], I gotta get the bottom bolt out now, but its hard to get at, I might have to take the plastic off the front.

OK now both old bolts are out and new ones are in, now the big exhaust gasket wont seal, so I put some J-B Weld around where it was leaking, I havent checked it yet, I let it sit over night.
