Help! Bolt stuck between main pulley..

[Rabbid-chop]

and idler arm.

After spending a week installing a new turbo, it was time to start it up and idle up to temp.
Sounded great except for a funny squeak which at first thought was just steel tray or something till i noticed some sparks from down in the belt arrangemet.

Long story short, its what looks like a 20mm m8 jammed in between the main crank and the idler arm thingo.

Ive tried jimmying it with a coat hanger hook its stuck fast. Anyone got any ideas how to get it out?

Im going to go try welding some tent pegs together so i can bash it up with a hammer. After that Ive got nothing.

Was the motor still running while the bolt was stuck there? Sounds exciting lol. Got any pics of it?

 

[Rabbid-chop]

Yes the motor was running, it was grinding against the pulley body. No real harm done. Cant get a pic because its in a C*NT of a spot. At least i didnt drop a bolt down the exhaust port or something.

Well i got it out with my super triple tent peg slide hammer. But it didnt hit the groun an i cant find it. I hope this amuses everyone.

It will probably fall out on the way to work next week and smash someones windscreen...

Dont stop if anyone starts high beaming you. LOL

 

[Rabbid-chop]

Lol, funny you should say that. That happened last night in my other car, high beams flashing up my arse and all that, i got her to pull over to ask her what was wrong all she could say was "nah you're f*cked c*nt, nah your f*cked over and over, while aiming her stupid phone at me." Eventually took off and same shit all over again.
She couldnt tell me what i did , maybe i flicked a rock at her...

Oh well started it up and went for a good fang around the block - goes good, nothing exploded.

 

[bods]

Lol well maybe she was giving you warning for this to happen today hahaha

 

[Rabbid-chop]

Yeah, it was pretty weird. Maybe it was some kind of trippy omen. Some poor bastard probably has my m8 bolt stuck in the middle of their windscreen right now.

i had the same problem with the stud the bolts on the turbo when i went to clean it. the stud dropped inside the lower wishbone. made a horrible noise until i find out where it was and when i did i couldnt get it ouy. sucked

 

[Rabbid-chop]

Yeah, I was a bit worried there.

Btw i meant belt tensioner, not idler arm. It really got dragged in and was happily grinding away at my crank pulley untill i spotted it. Lucky it was making a few sparks or i wouldnt have seen it.

How's your yd25 after the runaway incident?

its ok i turns out it didnt rev that high with brake cleaner as i thought, more like 4k revs max. did compression test on all 4 cylinders and got spot on compression 450 in all of them( one was 448 one was 449) etc but its ok now.i never thought that a small spray of brake cleaner inside the turbo would cause all the that(apparently oil inside there was sucked in the intake), panicked the shit out of me when i removed the key and it kept running. got lucky but for now i wont even bother with DYI..... at least it still runs great done like 2,000 kms since then and its like it never happened.

 

[Rabbid-chop]

Lucky. You might have done it some good! worlds fastest cylinder hone and cleaned out all the ports in one go!
