before I cut... trans carrier bolt sheared and spinning - any ideas?
Hello all. I have been posting my findings on 912BBS and thought I would ask here as well before the cutoff wheel comes out.
My car came to me with one trans carrier bolt sheared flush with the bottom of its hole on the trailing arm mount (1st pic). I cut a slot in the bolt and found it to spin easily but with no thread engagement - it will neither move in nor out. I welded a washer to it (2nd pic) and pried, pulled/turned to try and engage possibly damaged threads and no movement.
The 3rd and 4th pic show my understanding of this blind female thread with the hopes that anyone who has addressed this before or made repairs has a suggestion.
Thanks
Rus
