Hey everyone,
Recently I thought my Harmonic Balancer went out, but it turns out that the bolts holding the crank pulley on the HB were broken.
I removed the pulley and this is what I saw
I managed to remove the two little stubs you see sticking out, but there are still 2 bolts stuck inside the holes there.
I can't get these bolts out for the life of me. I bought some drill bits and EZ Out bolt removers. The 5/64 drill bits broke almost immediately, and then 7/64 broke. I also fear I may have messed the threads up on one of the holes already.
Tomorrow I'm going to go and try to find stronger drill bits, but I dont know if that will work. Do you guys have any advice for getting out these tricky bolts?
