Happy to help San! Just take your time digging out the broken part and be very careful not to score the surface with the pick when digging the part out. You will get it out :thumbsup

Very slowly with several different picks. It came out in 2 big pieces. It was not that bad to be honest. There is 1 small piece that stuck a bit on the water pump port, but I managed to get it out.

I used a 90 degree scribe/pick to grab the broken part and carefully pulled out the part. When I did, it broke into two parts and I was able to remove it and then used a greenie pad to clean out the hole for the new part to easily slide in.

+1 Charlie. That was pretty much my method.

I am working with a local builder to have a detached garage built so the zhp fleet will have a dedicated space now.

This is nice Vas! Is it going to be a 2 car garage? Please share a progress with us. I love seeing transformation of the houses.

It sure is [emoji4]

The new garage will be a 24x24 with 2 separate garage doors- 10ft ceilings - 6" reinforced concrete slab to support a lift and will have plumbing and electric hooked up to it.

The dumpster got picked up so site prep is the next step.

Very cool Vas! Sounds like a dream place to wrench on the cars!
Good luck with the construction phase!

Carwash and a oil change. Wiped the engine bay down while I was in there. Been putting some miles on mine. 20000 miles since I bought her and she is at 92k
