Yeah, those bolts are always such a bitch. Steel fasteners in aluminum, with electrolysis due to the coolant.... If you guys aren't anti-seizing these bolts when you have them out, you're doing yourself a huge disservice. Not as important for steel 12A pumps, but aluminum water pumps housing make this stuff hugely important.
Kevin, I can bring my harness with me to work tomorrow, which is just down the street from my house. Give me a call when you're close.

Morning everybody! I'm starting my day listening to ambulance sirens( I live literally 30 seconds away form Grady). I just noticed that our post count is up on the xroads guys by a little over 100 and that our thread view is way up to. It looks like the OGTA ( and YGTB) is becoming the hot new group.

Nectar of the Gods.
If you can not get a hold of the remaining part of the studs and vice grip them out then they will need to be drilled out.
Cut them flush, Start with a small drill in the center. Work your way up with larger drills. Use an easy out system to remove the rest of the stud - OR - Drill just to the tap size and re tap the hole.
To be honest you are better off changing the water pump housing. It would be a quicker job. Easy outs are no guarantee - they sometimes make more work for you by breaking off in the hole.

Well the only place I can get the two gaskets I need are from Sutherlin. Gonna have to order them.
It's currently pouring rain at an alarming rate, so I can't go out and drill or work on the car at all like I had planned last night...so I woke up early for nothing.
My mom is letting me take her car to work tonight, so I'm covered for that.
Who's got some C4 I can borrow...?

Funny, Billy. You are right about my luck. What pisses me off is that I'm not as brutal removing bolts, nuts or fasteners like a lot of people I've seen...yet I'm the one that ends up with broken **** lol
I got out a wired speed drill and every bit I own or could find. I didn't even make a dent in either stud.
What am I missing?
Just in case I couldn't get this figured out, I ordered the gaskets from Mazda which will be in Thursday. Again though, I'd prefer to not have to swap housings for fear of damaging my oil metering lines.. Anyone have tips on that?
Or how about I just pay Billy or Crit or Ray like $30 to come drill these studs out for me? :-P

Swapping the WP housing shouldn't really endanger the OMP lines. You have a little tab that's under one of the housing bolts that locates the OMP lines. Take that loose, slide the OMP lines right and rear from where they are, tie them off with a shoe lace or dental floss or something, and you won't have to worry about them.

PB blaster and WD-40 aint nothing. A few guys from the club need to get together and go in on a case of Aero Kroil (The oil that creeps). It is from Kano laboratories! This is the **** - when it comes to ruted bolts etc. It is the only thing that we have come across that does work. You can only get it by a case of 6. About $16.00 a can.

The drill bits were brand new, never used. I found them down in my room...my parents bought them for me like last christmas or two years ago or something.
I'm just gonna say **** it and replace the whole housing which is absolutely ridiculous but it's the only option I'm equipped to choose. And I can't go spending silly amounts of money on dremel attachments, bit sets, etc that may not even do the job in the end.
Considering places that I wanted to go this week, people I wanted to see, let me be the one to say: This. *******. Blows.

You do not want to drive any car you value in the winter up there, take my word for it. Park at the first snow and don't get it out until spring.
