Description: Broken Bolts and Broken Dreams... The Glamour of Component Repair! With the 50 year old rusted bolts in the compressor scroll of our Allison 250 C18-B, we have an opportunity to demonstrate the types of situations that often occur when working as a component repair technician. Thanks to all the commenters for their suggestions, but I tried all of your ideas already. You think I haven't done this before? I did this sort of work every day before I opened my own overhaul shop. There are many levels of effort and stress, all the way from "no problem at all" to "complete destruction and loss of the part". Let's see how far down the ladder of despair we get with these broken, rusty bolts... PS: I'm tired of people not understanding, and saying I should use EDM. All such comments will be deleted.
