Grr, one thing after another
One of the bolts that holds the pressure plate to the flywheel busted off while I was setting it to the right torque setting. So now I have half a bolt stuck in my flywheel and I have not a clue what to do to get it out.
It looks like this one bolt was a lot less heavy than the other bolts, and that's why it busted at only 40 ft/lbs.

can you get vise grips on it with the pressure plate off, if not youll have to use a drill on it, the have tools for this, you might have to tap a new hole

score!
about the new bolts, these bolts im told are special bolts they have a shoulder on them that lines the pressure plate up better, i just reused mine cause i didnt have the patience to get new ones but i wanted to, it was recomended by many guy to get new ones though, they are specific bolts though, just to let you know, where to get them i havent much idea, if i recall some guys said summit, but i might shout at gm see if they have new ones.
