Stuck Tensioner Bolt on a 06' Civic.
Hey guys,
looking for some assistance or opinions on what the hell I need to do to get this pin out. At first I used a 8mm hex socket and immediately stripped it. Spent a few hours afterward pounding a torque bit into it to create new threads in hopes to bite and stripped that too. Purchased an extractor kit to pound into the thing and as you might guess, broke one off in the POS. So, had a mutual friend come over with a Mig welder and he tried to weld a Torque bit in and failed. For the last 3 hours I've been trying to drill the weld out and maybe create a new hole for an extractor or just drill the head of the bolt off entirely to remove the tensioner bracket. This was supposed to be a water pump replacement and I've been on it for 3 f*****g days!
