Broke A Water Pump Bolt

[nickm347]

I replaced the water pump in my '01 D2 due to a little play in the shaft. The left side, long bolt snapped (most of the threaded part) as I was torquing it down. Im still not sure how that happened.

I'm going to have to pull the front cover to extract whats left of the bolt. My question is, what all do I need, and what is recommended? I'm used to working on GEMS, this is my first BOSCH engine I've worked on.

I'm going to order a new waterpump gasket, front seal, timing cover gasket, oil pan gasket, & oil cooler o-rings.

Am I forgetting anything? Should I replace anything while I'm in there?

Thanks

cross seals on the back of the block if they are leaking.

Check your torque wrench against a known good one, and order a SET of new bolts, just in case the others have been weakened.

Timing cover bolts are 16 lb ft or 22 nm.

oil pan needs to come down in order to pull front cover...

Wouldn't the rear main pop right out if you pulled the rear bearing cap to replace the cross seals in situ? Then you would have a gusher and not a leak.

you have to be really really careful.

I think I would have better chances winning the loto

I wouldn't use the factory torque spec, just use a small ratchet.
