Well then, as in the title...
I'm still on good point because the screw didn't break (at least not from what it looks like)
I broke the head of an allen bit inside the screw, In the video you can see the screw, it is also explained there...
1. Is it possible to drive like this? (There is a chance that the screw was damaged or it survived like nothing)
Regarding fixing this
1. Weld a nut to a bolt and try to heat the bolt and reach this state while the engine is still hot (I think it will be a bit difficult to work like this)
2. Drill the screw, remove the load from it, remove the tensioner, weld a nut to the screw, heat the connection between the screw and the motor, inject material exactly into the connection and try to open?
The 2 options require risk, but for some reason, I feel that the second option is more correct...
what do you think?
I forgot to mention
The vehicle is a 2011 Honda Civic, although it is clear from the video...
I would do the second option
Thanks for your reply,
Is it worth keeping the head of the screw? Just drill the middle just so that you can insert a special head for extracting screws? Or is it not worth the risk of breaking the screw? And is it safe to continue driving like this?
Another problem, The local dealership doesn't have this bolt... I want to just buy from a local screw shop but I can't find what material the screw is made of... This is his serial number 967001005518
