Need help please broke idler end!!

[painintheass]

Hello:

I'm replacing my idlers today and had trouble removing stock ilder next to power steering pump. I took the bolt off and it wouldn't move. Banged it with a rubber mallet, still nothing. Took a screw driver and tried to pry it off, nothing. Got a mini pry and yah it came off alright. The shaft that the idler rides on broke off. MAN OH MAN IM SO SCREWED!!

What do I do now? How do I fix this?

Thank you

Exactly what I was saying!! I'm thinking the only way posible is JB weld it and bolt the SOB up and see what happens.

Sounds like a plan to me.

Ummm... NO!

There are a few options.

How much of the bolt is sticking out? If you have a decent amount of the bolt sticking out you could try and twist it out with vice grips. If that doesn't work, you could try and weld a nut onto the end and get it out.

If there's nothing sticking out, you'll need a reverse drill bit. Drill into the bolt, when you go to remove the bit, the bolt will likely come with it, if it doesn't, there are bolt extraction kits that will allow you to thread something into the hole you made with the drill, which will then allow you to work it out.

your going to have to replace the pulley bridge. I would'nt try to rig up anything on this. Too much risk.

here is one on ebay. The price is pretty rediculous though. You should be able to find one in the market section. Also check modular fords. alot of people post over there when parting out a car.
