thernal pellet stuck in E shaft
 
So being too hasty in getting the finishing touches done on my engine before I install it, I put my Atkins Thermal pellet in before the sping and torqued down the pulley bolt. So today as I was going through to get the torque specs on the manis ect ect ect, I see in my manual that I did it incorrectly.

I took the pulley bolt out and got the spring out, but cannot dislodge the pellet. Im thinkin I jammed it in there. Anyone have suggestions to get it out short of pulling engine apart again? I dont have the money to spend on another gasket kit and this project is taking longer then expected anyways. I soaked the hell outta it with PB blaster too, so anything else will be nice for suggestions.

P.S. dont flame, we all make mistakes.

you may have to drill, tap, and pull it out with a bolt.

Thats what Im thinkin too. I really dont want to do that, but with the pellet bein aluminum (sp) Im thinkin I might have belled out the one end and gonna have to pretty much destroy it to get it out. Ahh, live and learn.
