Hello E. You will need to put a piece of rod in the tapped hole in the engine shaft so the new bolt in your newly tapped hole will have something to push against, without the rod you would be pushing against the threaded hole in the engine shaft and damage those threads. Good luck my friend.
Very interesting way to do it... I just happen to have a tap set and no puller... will this work if there is no broken bolt?
