Stuck idle tube collar

(1/4) > >>

Ethan1:
 I have tried everything from Cliffs book, to tips on here to get this idle tube out. Heat, grinding off the first few threads of screws, extra leverage, etc. nothing! Can I just drill it out?

77cruiser:
Sure drill it out, maybe the bit will grab it & spin it out.

Ethan1:
 Thanks, Jim! Will let you know how it goes. ;)

carmantx:
You can drill.  Bit needs to be smaller than the orifice though and be careful to go straight in. 

Ethan1:
 Well, I got it out. Used a .063" drill bit, since it was oversized from punching it down into its bore. Spun right out like, Jim, said. 8)
