So I took out my engine to change the clutch and while I was working today I used my Impact wrench to tighten my flyhweel bolts and to my suprise one of the bolts broke. I screamed, panic, yelled, and was even scared to death. I thought to myself this was it, it was over for this engine. Then somehow, somewhere this little voice in my head said, "Drill that sucka!". and so I took out my trust worthy drill and drilled it, then suddenly my Drill bit BROKE! This sudden event caused me to panic even more cause now I have a Broken bolt stuck on my crank with a broken drill bit stuck in my broken bolt. Suddenly somewhere, somehow this voice in my head said, " Grab a hammer and nail?" So I Grabbed a nail that I found lying around and hammered at the drill bit stuck in the broken bolt stucked in my crank. Somhow the drill bit came loose and I used my Shop Vac to suck it out and it worked!. Then suddenly I came up with the idea to use a hex key and hammered it into the small drilled hole in the broken bolt. Somehow it worked and I was able to get the bolt out of the crank. Now Im stuck waiting for ARP bolts from an Ebay seller.

u can stick a screw driver into the flywheel teeth and wedge it between one of the dowel pins as you torque it. or put a wrench on the crank bolt and hold it that way,
