Just finished replacing injector seals, and on replacing the rocker shaft, the final bolt has sheared......my own fault, skimped on reusing bolts.
I hopefully tried a screw driver to get out, but not enough purchase on the top, so now need to remove.
My initial plan is to use a left hand drill bit, with a deep 1/4 drive socket as guide, and if need be an extractor.
However, the bolt has sheared approx 30mm deep, and I am unsure if I can locate a suitable l/h drill , and if the extractors are indeed long enough.
I would avoid cheap extractors, but do trust Teng tools, and for some reason am leaning toward the splined extractor rather than helical.
The bolt appeared to have stretched, and went in easy, so I am hopeful that it shouldn't be seized.
Can anyone offer any experience based advice?
TIA
