Hey all,
My X started misfiring last night (Cylinder 1 Misfire). I brought it home and took the plenum and everything off and noticed that three of my bolts have been broken. I am not sure if this was done by the previous owner or what, but that's beside the point. Two of the bolts have sheared off right at the top of the block, so I have nothing to grab with pliers or anything.
I was able to order a complete new set of bolts and studs from Nissan for $13 but I still need to figure out how to get the two bolts out. I thought about taking a Dremel with a very thin cutting disc and cutting a slot into the top of the bolt in order to try and use a flat head screwdriver to get them out. That will most likely be my last resort.
Are there any bits or tools that would be able to extract these? I want to avoid drilling them out if at all possible.
Thanks!
My cylinder 1 coil was pretty corroded on the inside, which explains the misfire.
