Lisle 71500 Auspuffkrümmer Schablone für Dodge, Factory

Welder works great for the easy ones. And most of these bolts are easy, but every once in a while you get a tough one. Don't get cocky and do it free hand. This template is the the best way to guarantee sucess. I have removed 100s of broken exhaust bolts. We always use this template for the rough ones.

Prinzipiell eine gute Sache, die Schablone ist wirklich passgenau, die Zentrierer auch, die Bohrer jedoch sind billig und nicht zu gebrauchen. Baumarktqualität, man braucht aber Hartmetallbohrer, da die Bolzen zu hart für diese Bohrer sind. Aufbohren unmöglich. Letztlich hab ich es nur geschafft, weil ein Nachbar Hartmetallbohrer hatte. Krümmer ist dran. Für den Preis erwarte ich einfach taugliches Material. Vor allen Dingen, wo erhalte ich solche Bohrer im nichtmetrischen Mass, also in Zoll? Die aus dem Set jedenfalls sind alle kaputt.

It's very unfortunate that I ordered the 72350 kit for Ford 7.3's and the alignment bolts are incorrect. They are supposed to be 10mm x 1.50 thread pitch. As the picture I uploaded shows, the bolts I received have a 1.25 thread pitch. Incorrect alignment bolts render this kit useless.I have purchased a lot of Lisle tools /tool kits. Lately, receiving defective tools , new, unopened, out of the box, is a common occurrence. Mistakes happen, but when it is repetitive, it's no longer a mistake. Lisle's poor quality assurance has drove me to consider whether or not I will ever invest in Lisle tools again. That statement goes for all Lisle rebranded tools off tool trucks as well. Thickness and sheerness is irrelevant when the kit is useless.*EDIT*I received the kit over a weekend when I left the review. The following Monday I called Lisle. Initially they told me to contact Amazon. I told them that Amazon did not manufacture or package this tool kit. After a small amount of resistance, I was transferred to a very nice lady. I told her the situation. She didn't even ask me for an order number. Asked me what I needed, confirmed my name and address and told me the alignment bolts will be in the next days mail. I received them Friday. In the end issue resolved.

I am a Ford diesel mechanic, I’ve had issues with the bolts breaking in heads on 6.0 6.4 for years. Normally we sublet to a mobile bolt extractor for an exorbitant amount of money (800 dollars to show) he retired.I had a very good welder try and weld a nut on with no luck the hole was doomed!!! Ran across this tool it was everything they promised, worked like a charm. It does however come with poor quality drill bits. I ran to Home Depot and purchased 3 of all the required bits (one for each hole that was damaged) these bolts are hardened and will destroy your bit one time use for sure.

Bought this this thing to drill out three broken exhaust manifold bolts on a Chevy Tahoe and it works great. One was all the way to the firewall so we used a 300 rpm air powered ratchet to drill it out with the tap drill size on the first go. The holes seemed to be lined up good and threads will still in good condition after they we re-tapped. The only thing negative I can say is make sure the little thumb retainer screws thread in ok before you put it on the head. A couple of mine went in a little hard.

Every component worked perfect with the exception of the easy out. It required depth to work correctly. Much to my dismay the stud was broke halfway in the hole and had to use the Lisle twist extractor kit which I ordered here too. I thought the tap was included, but was not. I didn't need it YET but would have been a great addition to a Great kit making it quite complete. I'm going to get one and have it on hand.Mine is tough because there is no room. I'm doing it in the truck. the left front top was hard. I did it with a portable drill and a right angle transmission. 1.5 hours because of space limitations. Used the lisle spiral removers below. The provided tap wouldn't grab because the remaining stud was short.The left front lower was near impossible I have a extra smaller chuck and a 3/8 to chuck adapter. I then used my 3/8 electric Husky ratchet removing all the obstacles I could ( Hoses Wire harnesses) from around the area. This was very slow drilling as you can imagine but as suggested kept removing and cleaning oiling and reinstalling, having another go. I took the drill bits and cut them 2 different lengths as it was so close and had to secure them in the chuck with the bit in the chuck with the adapter guide on the bit and wiggle it to the plate hole. Once I was in approximately 3/16 of a inch or so I was able to tap one of the spiral Lisle extractors into the stud. I used the same extractor as I did in the top one or the next size up. This took around 2, 2 1/2 hours. Make sure you chase the threads with a tap or you will fight the new studs. I used the Stainless 304 grade hardware from a guy up in Wakefield Mass from MST Metric Screw and Tool. He sells them Here in packs of 8 or 16 depending what you need. I purchased them elsewhere because of price 3 years ago and he now sells them here for around the same price. Second manifold replacement on the passanger side because I used the Dorman supplied gaskets. Do yourself a favor Use only OEM gaskets They areremarkable quality. Seeing I'm wearing out my keyboard with this review Ill add these tidbits as I've fought the fight and won. Its just time right and I'm happy to share my thoughts and knowledge.To some it may be Best to just pull the heads and replace the timing kit ' oil pump and gaskets while your in there. someone asked a question if this would work with all the studs broken. I would say its possible, but there would have to be at least one protruding. A vise grip May get it out or weld a bolt to it or pull the head and send it out, or perhaps get a used head. chances are if its that bad, you will have little choice but to take the head off. Than you could clamp this template on somehow and get the project underway.Select one stud (the flattest the better) and As indicated SLOW and STEADY! center punch your best stud, drill slow, check your centering and correct it before going forward. If you drill off the stud, your project will take a time and monetary number climb real quick or quicker than it already has. This is the twist extractor set from lisle ) Lisle 61980 Strip Screw Extract, 10 Piece) Power - Up people! remember, we can accomplish anything if we focus, be patient and be determined. RIGHT!!! go get them and this will help fight the impossible!! in my opinion... to be continued... Peace!
