Okay well im running out of ideas i was working on my 83 280zx na and i snaped a bolt off in the block while trying to pull the water pump there is ruffly a half inch hanging out. Ive tried a stud puller with no luck ive also tried to cut a slit in it to see if i can get it out with a screw driver but no luck. Ive been hitting it with pb blaster every chance i get but nothing. I could drill it out but i really dont have enough room between the block and the condensor. Need help asap i dont know what else i can do.



here is a ruff idea how much room i have just no radiator

 

Try heating it with a propane torch and letting it cool to see if it expands and contracts and breaks the rust bond a bit.

Clamp some vice-grip pliers down on it as tight as possible and whack them with a hammer to "impact" it loose.

Weld a nut to the end and try a socket wrench again to see if the pb blaster has done any good.

 

the clamps just cut into it it sucks you can see the teeth marks from trying that i cant weld or have a welder i may go out and get a torch but even if i torch it idk how to pull it

 

I'm in Port richey on ridge and 19. How far am I from you? I'll weld the nut on there with my mig and I guarantee we can get it out.

We got it. Took a few seconds with the welder, a slotted pry bar, and a few turns.

 

Kudos for helping him out like that.

 

put some never seize on some new bollts before you put it back together

 

exactly what he's gonna do. It was super rusty in there. I made sure to keep the threads in tact, though.

Thanks
