SO my teener broke down as I was driving out of South Dakota. I was able to get it towed for free to Mitchell, SD. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif)
Here is what is broken: The bolt that attaches the Impeller hub to the crankshaft has sheared off inside the crankshaft. This caused the impeller hub to fall off the crankshaft and caused the generator to stop functioning as well as engine cooling to cease. Once the hub fell off the crankshaft, the woodruff key fell out too. Here is my situation: the car is parked at a transmission shop here in Mitchell. I have a full set of sockets and wrnches, as well ass assorted 914 tools, but no jacks or jackstands. I have removed the forward engine tin, as well as the belt, impeller and hub. I have also removed the front half of the impeller shroud. My plan of attack: I want to ask the transmission shop to use an extractor to remove what is left of the bolt with the engine still in the car. if they can remove it I will need to locate a new woodruff key, at which point I should be able to re-install the impeller using a new bolt and a lockwasher since the old bolt is shot. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) My Plan B: if I can't remove what is left of the bolt, I plan to rent a U Hauls truck and trailer and pull the car the rest of the way to Muncie, Indiana. I would really appreciate some input on whether my reasoning is sound, if I'm an imbecile, or if I'm SOL thanks in advance, Ross |

I agree, If the fan isn't out of balance you won't have any issues. (I wonder if the fan is the real problem) The JB will get you home. Just use heat when you go to remove the hub bolt and the lock-tite will break down and release. Same with the JB.
How did he loose his son? Did you get his last name. I will personally send Jonathan a card thanking him for helping you out of a jamb. Maybe some Alien swag and a couple bucks for his trouble. It's the least we can do. The world needs more like him. Import Motors 1104 West Havens Avenue Mitchell, SD 57301-3833 (605) 990-2770 Oh, and you can rate him here. It looks like he's done this before. Great guy. http://www.vcarshops.com/south-dakota/impo...ors-mitchell-sd |

This man needs to be recognized for doing a real solid for one of our own. |
