I need to replace the connecting rod bolts on my B16a2. The bolts are in there(on the big end of the connecting rod) pretty tight. I've tried to gently tap it with a deadblow hammer, but will not budge.

How do you go about replacing these? I hope I don't have to press it out.

 

I've never heard of anyone having trouble removing rod bolts before...make sure the rachet's on loosen .

 

hahah! thanks for the suggestion.

I'm talking about the rod bolt off the big end of the connecting rod. If you notice, the bolt had is oval shaped, so you can't turn it.

 

put one nut in and turn it til it bottom out at the shoulder of the bolt, then put another nut and turn it til it bottom out with the first nut, then tighten it then use a box end wrench and turn the bottom nut to loosen the rod bolt.

 

Ahhh.... So basically, you're pushing the bolt out?

This might work. I'll try it tommorrow. Thnaks

 

i pounded mine out with a hammer.


hehe
