I screwed up a repair (broke off the mounting bolt for the water pump drive gear on the end of the intake side balance shaft 2.0t engine) and need someone to give me some advice on the direction I need to go to finish the repair. Least labor intensive and least impact on the bank account.
Thanks for any help in advance.
Harbor Freight Left hand drill bits are my go to for broker bolt removal. Lots of Aero Croil penetrating oil allowed to soak for a couple days.. Put a punch mark in the center of the bolt so the drill starts centered as closely as possible. Don't drill to big and take out existing threads, when drilling usually the bolt will bind to the drill and back itself out of the hole. If not a screw or bolt extractor can be used in the hole you drilled.
