Paul,
I'm trying to get the front cover bolt lose.
But all I produced is a bent aluminum and steel angle.

I tried WD-40 on tehe bolt, but without success.

My brother told me to heat the bolt with a hot-air gun to get the loctite
grumpy. Would that work?
What kind of Loctite is used, and up to which temperature is loctite heat
resistant?
Kind regards
Thomas


I would not get it over 300 degrees F.
It takes a lot of torque and at least a 3/4 impact Wrench.
You will need to lock down the engine with a special tool
>from Mazda or a six foot long channel four inches high by
1/4 inch thick bolted to the flywheel.

Paul Lamar ...No rotor no motor.

Today the front bolt broke loose.
It took the hole weight of my fellow (275 lb) on the breaker bar.
Probably the WD-40 which had time to soak in over night add his part.

Kind regards
Thomas
