If you remove the turbo you will probably find it will be easier to remove the broken section after soaking in wd40 or similar and griping the extended part at the back of the flange? Maybe..? :laugh:

easy out it...piece of piss mate. You wont get any skills unless you start giving things ago yourself. Watching someone else do it helps, but you gotta get that mechanical/engineering 'feel' inorder to be half good at these things. That means practice :wub: or forever be paying someone else to do stuff for you :laugh:

Don't go any where near it with a easy out mate, if you have never used one. If you break a easy out off in there then you are screwed. The material that easy out's are made of is REAL hard and you will have a hell of a time trying to get it out. Trust me I know from experience.

Do it urself. sprey wd40 or penetrene. let it soak for an hour or two and then use the largest drill you can safely use without threat of hitting your threads. best to use a pin puch to mark your drill point so drill will stay in centre. use the biggest possible easy out and make sure you buy the good brand and not cheap shit from the local $2 shop. Make sure you tap the easy out hard on the head to seat the easy out and also to shock to metal thread around the bolt you are trynig to remove. It really is an easy job and at the end of the day if you cant do it or you wreck it, THEN call someone to do it. Dont be scared to try as you are already in a position where you are thinking of calling someone. At the end of the day if you stuff it all up, you will still be in the same position you were in to start with ( i.e. having to call someone). SO give it a go. Nothing like working with your hands n building shit to fully appreciate being a man with skills, not a boy with a wallet.

oh and if you do snap it off dont worry. and good mech will have super hardened drill bits to drill the easy-out out and if you stuff the threads there are helicoils ( thread inserts to bring slogged out holes/threads back to their original sizes. To many pussy boys in here to scared or stupid to get their hands dirty.......

Have you ever tried to drill a broken easy out??? You can't. Super hard drill bit ??? Diamond and tungsten tip drill bit dont even touch them.

its safer to drill it out and then knock out the threads. if the head of the bolt/stud has sheared off due to the bolt/stud being locked in there really tight then there is a chance the easy out could brake.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      The incentives are mostly the same, yes. Ethanol is cheap compared to the cost of doing 98-100 RON with crude oil alone. 87 to 93-94 AKI all with E10. In 2020 Canada mandated E10 as a part of their "renewable fuel standard" and is supposedly going to go to E15 in 2030. In California where there are only 8 refineries with two threatening to shut down next year it's been over 20 years now of E10 and 91 AKI maximum because there's just not enough refinery capacity or crude oil supply relative to the demand for premium unleaded fuel. And CARB's low carbon fuel standard means functionally none of the diesel available at the pump is made from crude oil anymore. It's almost all entirely 20% biodiesel blended with 80% renewable diesel (hydrotreated vegetable oil) now. The number of gasoline vehicles that support E15 or higher ethanol concentrations is surprisingly low, I can't imagine it being wise to play tricks like this without flex fuel sensors in most of the fleet.

      It's almost certainly the same as the one next to it.

      South Australia, which is hardly as far behind as the rest pf Oz makes out, and who is also not a paragon of progressiveness (read that as over-legislation) in the area of vehicle standards, has this to say on the subject: Adjustable coil-over suspension Aftermarket adjustable coil-over suspension components are suspension units that incorporate an external thread on the main body and corresponding threaded spring saddle that allows the vehicle's suspension height to be varied. If fitting aftermarket or coil-over suspension components you must submit an Application to modify a light motor vehicle form and a report from a light vehicle engineering signatory (LVES).

      Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers

      Those above shitboxes, mediocre and above usually have a turbo strapped to them, hence the slightly higher octane is required.
