Ok shop hobby vacation is almost over so this car goes into storage until I have time to work on it.
I think I’ve decided what to do next.
1. I’m going to get a larger drill bit and drill until the head of the stuck bolts fall off. Then the pulley should come loose. Hopefully I won’t damage the pulley because that’s $300.
2. After I have the pulley off, I can try to use a screw extractor, since hopefully the pressure from the torque of the bolt will be off.
3. In the worst case scenario that I cant extract the bolt, I’ll then just take the camshaft gear off and replace it.. It’s $90 for OEM, $30 for german 3rd party maker, and $20 used from ebay… I think I can borrow an impact wrench from someone to take that camshaft nut off.
