helicoil-ing is quite a skilled job!
Any monkey with a drill and tap wrench could do it!
Nip and do it for him then.
Managed to shear off one of the water pump bolts, it's stuck in the engine block with only a tiny bit sticking out. How the heck do I get it out?
Thanks

my oil pump bolts are 6mm (8mm head) and i did the same (snap)
after exploring all available routes i helicoiled it (success )
Although I did have to lower the engine off it's mounts to get square on to drill it
when checking the torque figures for these bolts from LR I discovered they were only 10nm, so no wonder it snapped
that's screwed in a bit much int it?
Very true....not my picture just one i found on the Goooooooooogle.....
A helicoil should finish flush....
