this isnt for my Camaro but i have a 1979 Bronco that i am getting going for my beater. i plan on putting in a 4 speed Manual and i was putting the clutch on today and i had all the bolts started and i was going around and would tighten each bolt about 2 or three turns. was on my last way around tightening them and when i got to one it just snapped. didnt get hard to turn or anything just snapped. my question is this. Will i be fine with just 5 out of the 6 bolts in or am i F'd? if i NEED all 6 how can i got about getting the broke bolt out? sorry this isnt thirdgen related but you guys are about the smartest bunch i know and i dont know of any good Ford truck forums.

 

also just to state i would never let this be with my camaro i would deffenantly fix it but seeing as its my beater i can live with a few imperfections. just as long as it works and works for say 25k-40k miles.

 

anyone?

 

someone? anyone? just give me some opinions?

 

If it was me I'd get a set of extractors and remove the remnants of the snapped bolt.

Just take the flywheel off, center punch whats left, drill a small hole, pound in the extractor with a hammer then unscrew. Shouldn't take more than 30 min if you work slow.

 

ok got it out today. just out of curiosity has anyone else ever done this? i hope people have as right now i feel quite stupid for doing it.
