Snapped Vacuum Fitting

[JJEkoms]

So i got to repair a mates after market wastegate.

The pressure fitting to the top chamber snapped off during shipping, or via his general clumbsiness. That ill never know..

Its a screw in fitting thats sheered off and is now recessed.

Obviously im going to remove it.

Either pick it out or drill it out? Any ideas welcome.

I was also wondering, will 2 part epoxy glue lite araldite do to fasten a new one? Or drill and rethread absotutely nessissary?

Piccies might help as there are few different designs obviously. Internal or external gate? Is it in the actuator or the gate itself?

Does the top chamber come off on the one you have? If so might be easier to dismantle it. Saves metal filings getting into the diaghragm too.

Presumably it wouldn't be stupidly tight so a good easy out might pull it out.

Easy out.

Yeh top chamber pulls apart, the peice left inside looks like its also got adheisive on the treads.

The araldite vs rethread is my main worry.

Doubt ill find one the exact size to reuse the existing thread (if it the tread remains usable after removing the broken peice)

[scotty nm35]

Why would you need to rethread it? Is the thread damaged? Just get a new fitting in it once you easy-out the old part from the cap.

What brand is it?

Araldite won't last 2 minutes.

Yeah if your careful getting it out, the thread should be ok. If not a tap to fix it will probably be $10 at the most
