Rob, where do you find the patience from? I would of drilled it out and put a nut and bolt in.
I think you are correct. Steel bolt , aluminum housing.
I had the exact problem doing that tensioner. Had to fight it the whole way.
Spoiler alert, wait till you need a starter. It's even more fun.
Great job Robert 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Fun fact- Bolts never break where you can get to them easily. Last time it happened to me i bought a right angle drill and some HIGH QUALITY reverse drill bits and easy outs.(German made).Drilling the hole directly in center of bolt is crucial. Glad it worked out for you. ✌️
THAT CRESCENT WRENCH IS ONLY DESIGNED TO WORK LIKE A PIPE WRENCH. TURN IT OVER SO YOU DONT BREAK IT.
He Robert fighting depression I here you bro Canada is even worse you have hope with Trump
insurance companies SUCK
They’re just doing this to everyone I just payed 2800.00 to get my heater core changed out in a dodge crew truck plugged off from casting sand from the Cummins block never seen these problems before your bolt prob has some green loc tight on aluminum just to bend everyone over trying to fix your own equipment it’s every where bro
is this related to the radiator leak? or a separate problem
Whoever assembled that last time didn't use any anti-seize on it. That's a must when mixing aluminium and steel fasteners. I had the same issue on old airhead BMW motorctcles. The exhaust nuts are aluminum threaded onto a cast iron cylinder barrel.
😂😂😂 just like owning a boat 😂😂😂😂 it keeps you on your toes 😮😮
You always manage to get stuff done, you are not a 90% er. Shit happens Robert and you should give yourself much more credit, you kind of awesome man.
The last time I saw one like that I had a claim on the engine and the Shop disassembled the whole front end and replaced the Acessory front engine surround mounting plate. I believe that is what they called it. Paccar paid for it 17 hours labor it takes 2 people a days work. This is not uncommon for that one bolt to do that. This truck like yours only had 124000 miles.
Anytime I feel things aren’t going my way I just watch one of your videos and find out I don’t got it so bad. Things could be a lot worse.
Fastenal
If you're gonna work on this stuff you need to write tools you need a real porch and the right sockets
It's pulling the threads that's the problem
And tell the other guy with a trunk comment to fuck off
Trump comment
That's why I ask guys that do this for a living spends thousands of dollars.Are really quality tools
And if you heat it until water on it, it shocks it and makes it looser.But you had to be careful with aluminum
remove the aluminum acc bracket & replace it . if ur off center ull never get the allen bolt started. believe me been there done that,Amen
Are you sure it isn't a left hand thread?
I just worked on my garage door, same shit, replaced the broken spring then the bearings on both sides were bad, replaced them 4 days later after getting the parts it is fixed easy job my ass, lol
when im having a bad day, i watch ur videos my bad day goes away.
robert dont feel bad i hav stuff happen 2 me like tht if ever thing goes gd i wonder whts going 2 happen next , I love ur determination.
I’m watching you use the easy out and I’m saying let it work for Robert 🙏🏻
I feel your pain! Hang in there Robert. Same chit happens to me whenever I try to be proactive. Bought a pickup last week and the transmission just went out. If it's not something, it's always something!
Robert: get a private insurance adjuster for your insurance needs, they will get enough to replace both roofs and the insurance company will pay them thru the excessive amounts the insurance will pay you. Worth every penny
Can you imagine if it was at a KW dealership and they broke it off? "Here's your bill Sir. $257 for the tensioner, $131 for the belt and $4747.16 to remove a broken bolt"
Insurance is of the "DEVIL". Smart idea using the blower to dry out the truck. What about just drill it out and use a bolt?
You got there in the end.
Heat up and melt crayons
When it’s time to replace the tensioner on my x15. I’m going to the dealer. Just because of this video.
You know if a shop did that for you they’d of took all the front off it would have cost a lot hourly but MacGyver handled it take a bow it’s turkey day time to eat happy thanksgiving
That tensioner bolt is a Cummins part.
you must be my twin when it comes to this kind of thing and im a machinist by trade ,i have never had an easy out work for me in 38 years and like you say you need every tool in the building and some borrowed fro folks to do an oil change now days and iv found that if i walk out and go ahead and pound my fist into the concrete a few time i get the inevtible out of the way right off the bat -my hats off to you folks and yes insurance aint worth shit these days
Trucks for you if your not in em your under em …
Robert, anytime you need a bolt like that. Instead of lowes or homedepot, go to ace hardware. They have large variety of bolts like that in stock all the time.
Happy thanksgiving to you and your family and dogs 🦃
Glad I parked my shit forever. I don’t miss the simplest job turning into all day or worse.
You should invest in some left hand drill bits… the extractors work great with them.
Ive watched your journey on this channel since u started,, u sed u went in2 town 4 bolts,, y didnt u film that bit, goin 2 town, i wud love 2 see around ur town,, thank you, 4 the brilluant entertainment,,,
Bri, from manchester, britain..😊😊😊
Hey Robert glad you got it fixed. Really look forward to all your videos, you make me not feel so bad about my crappy never ending BS . Y’all have a great Thanksgiving, see ya on next video.😎👍
🇺🇸💕☝🦅⚓🪖🐾😘🥰🐕🐕🐕🐾🐾 hey there, bud when you watch these videos here make sure you put some penetrating oil on that and let it soak in if you use a torch. Wait until it’s slightly wait touch this Luke Luker and then spray more penetrating oil cause that’ll help. It suck in and let it sit like that for a day I would say maybe overnight then come in and clean it with a cleaner then put your little connector toys on there and then slowly back it out with some luck there’s no guarantee you might have to drill and tap into it or you can weld into it and then put a bolt onto it and maybe get it out that way, but yeah man you’re shit creek a little bit I wish you here on this OK🇺🇸🇺🇸☝ OK🦅 the eagle is the stand for our country⚓ the anchor is because I’m a retired naval man🪖 the helmet is for all the veterans🐾 the🐕 and a little doggy things are for Maggie fat butt and the other girl there OK💕💖💗 and❤ the love goes to both you and your wife and God.
