[alfa] thermostat housing bolt sheared, 4-cyl.

["Christopher Keen" <ckeen74@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

Well, in the ongoing overheating saga, one of the two bolts holding the 
thermostat housing together sheared off at the head (so some of the bolt is 
protruding from the flange). I've tried using a clamp (the bolt is too soft) 
and a screwdriver (not enough leverage) to break it loose. Surely someone 
has had this problem before - any suggestions on how to get this thing off? 
Obviously I'd rather not have to remove the whole intake manifold. I'm 
giving it a drop of Liquid Wrench every so often, but I'm kinda stuck right 
now....

Thanks for any help.
