I noticed the bolts in my harmonic balancer were loose after getting my truck back from the shop so i pulled it off to get all the bolts to go back on.. I noticed the dowel pin was not sticking out so I thought the mechanic had left it out from intalling the cam.... I bought a new one and whent to install it and noticed it was not missing, but broken off in the crank.... Well long story short I pulled the intercooler, radiator, and bumper all off to drill and get this dowel pin out... I drilled a hole and the dang ole easy out broke off:bang ... i have tried to drill out the ez out but it wont drill!!! I dont know what to do at this point does any one have any suggestions??? Does the dowel pin need to be in there??
