okay so my buddy was taking off the crank pulley bolt on my gsr motor and it snapped off. any idea on how fucked i am?

i dont know how long the bolt is but there is about 3/4" of thread plus the head of the bolt that snapped out. im hoping a machine shop can fix this.

thanks
chris

 

I am guessing that the crank pulley is now stuck on the motor? You might have to have somebody weld a nut on the end of it to get it out, or use some kind of bolt extractor. I wouldnt try drilling it out because then you run the risk of ******* up your crank. Good luck

 

no the crank pulley came off because there is no bolt to hold it on. it broke off inside the motor.

 

drop the crank and bring it to the machine shop, they should be able to take it out for u

 

im hoping they dont have to take apart the motor. im just gonna take em the whole thing

 

im worried about breaking mine off cause its being a bitch to break loose. it probably was never off before and i heard heating it can cause **** to go wrong and damage the bearings and warp the crank pully. is this true?

 

just take it to a machine shop and they'll get it out

 

heat will wreck the seals, but your bearings should be ok if you don't really cook it...
