I have a hex bolt jammed in the bottom of my Yamaha Virago's lower fork tube. The head of the bolt is countersunk into the end of the tube, so I can't get a vice grip around it to twist.

I have tried damn near everything to get it out: I soaked the part in WD 40 for two nights straight. I tapped on the head with a drift to try and loosen the threads. I tried an impact driver, it unscrewed a quarter turn then stopped, and ended up gouging up the head, distorting it and possibly expanding it further into the part. As a last resort I tried torching the thing and it did nothing.

I really don't want to drill it out. And I'd rather not pay the shop to do it. Any suggestions?

What other things make your car vibrate. My wheels are balanced, when u put your feet on the gas it feels like its vibrating and the wheel is vibrating to, it does that when i go on freeway. Can it be because of the engine mount or something else..

I have a Monte Carlo LS 3.1. I had the lower control arm on the passenger side replaced and a couple of days ago, I was turning into my apartments and all of a sudden my car made a jump and it wouldn't move. I got and I saw that my wheel was practically off, I mean the side of my car and my wheel, made a T shape, with the top of the t being the wheel. Thats what it looks like. Also, the bolt from the lower arm was missing so that's how it came out of place and my cv joint came apart and the green grease was everywhere. Anyways, I jus went out to crank it for the first time since I had it towed two days ago and the car cranks but it cuts off like 2 or 3 seconds after that. What's going on? Is it b/c my car's a front wheel drive and since the front is on one wheel and the engine isn't stable, the engine can't perform? Or is it something else? But what?

I recently bought a 2007 Honda Civic SI sedan and I absolutely love it. It's pretty fast and the handling is amazing.

However, I want to add a little more power to it so I can get more HP and torque.

How can I do this?
Also, if I decide to turbo it, how much would it cost me?

Thank you, I'll definitely pick the best answer.

The bike sat for 15 years in my dads garage. I thouroly cleaned the carbs and changed the plugs. the bike runs excellent until you get up arond 4500 rpm. When it starts acting up, it still acellerates, but its just real jerky (like runnig out of gas)?? I was told there must still be dirt in the fuel system. Any help on how to get it all out or other suggestions would be appreciated.
