KYOSHOKEV Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 If you can see the thread on the side of the engine you can get a hack saw an gently cut through the thread when you get the head of you should be able to take stubs out with your fingers or if its stuck and you have long enough stubs left you can cut a grove in the end and get them out. just go gently a few scratches don't matter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kilted32 Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 Nice bit of lateral thinking - going to have to remember that when (not if) I manage to round something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
