Subject:      1985 Vanagon - engine case stud ? - Must have good answer -
              Calling Boston Bob
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="Windows-1252"


I'm trying to avoid splitting my case/removing my engine in order to remove an engine stud and R& R that stud which broke while traveling down the road.


The stud (drivers side stud, 2nd top from/toward driver) 1st broke about 1 inch from its end, 2nd brake while extracting at the engine's case - heli coil into case?




? : Are the factory engine stud "Heli coils" (threads into alum. case that hold stud into case) install/removed from the exterior side or interior side of the case?




This may be important as we try our next extraction - I'm not willing to remove engine and therefore it's "do or die" for this engine/perhaps my trusted old vanagon.




Pls. advise if you have knowledge of this .....


Have a good day!
