Stuck screw in clutch cover
murdock:
si no te sientes seguro de resolverlo , dejalo , agrega un poco de sellajuntas y tal vez no pierda , algun dia lo quitaras con la destreza y herramientas adecuadas
if you don't feel confident in resolving it, leave it alone, add a little sealant and it may not leak, one day you will remove it with the right tools and skill.

Yes, I was honestly thinking about that as well. But still. I have the whole engine apart, so might as well to it now. Anyways, it broke off at a point where I can still take the rest of the engine apart, so I'll do that for now :)

If there is enough sticking out, get a slightly bigger nut and get it welded on with plenty of weld in the nut.
The heat from the welding will be far more than you put on it before and more direct, this normally breaks the bond between the bolt and the case.
Never failed for me :)

I considered taking it to a welder for exactly that. But hard to imagine anyone else putting more stress on it than I have already. Id be worried enough is sticking out to weld it without hitting the surface, which needs to be kept clean so it can still seal. But will have to see what others can do. It would seem I am out of my own league on this one :(
Nurse Julie:
Once you have stripped the engine completely, try clamping the stud in a vice, apply lots of heat to the case at the stuck end of the screw and turn the whole case, it may just give you enough leverage to break the bond. What heat source are you using? A normal little hand held gas cylinder like plumbers use will be of no use. You need a proper gas cylinder or even oxyacetylene.
