Stormtruck2 Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 2004 Ballabio. The plastic around the temp sensor has broken off, and there is nothing for the socket to grip. At this point it looks like I may have to remove the head in order to remove it. The only thing to get a hold of is a round metal thing sticking up in the hole. I'm open to suggestions here.

vuzzi Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 I did it with a punch, gently punching it at one of the corners of the bolt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartyNZ Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 ...and a third way is to use a screw extractor. It winds into the hole in the metal remains of the sensor housing, and you can unscrew it easily. I fitted a brass temp sensor housing instead of the plastic one. MG part no. 30163301.
