Weld on a nut to the nub. The heat will loosen the broken bolt and the nut will help you extract it.

Nice video! Yesterday I had the exact same issue with my df60... I'll bring it to a workshop now to drill out the bolt and have them check the cooling...

[boashna]

I watched this video freaked out about the bolt so I went fishing and while engine was hot took all 3 off in less than 2 minutes.. I had broken off a lower unit because i did not heat in the past . .heat it or else.. thank you for saving me.

Many thanks. Just started getting overheat so changed impeller, no difference . So now I'm going to the thermostat, . Fingers crossed.

Getting ready to change mine, ,99 df70, I also bought a water pressure valve that goes into the upper exhaust manifold, but debating on it, , I think I will have to take the computer out to get to it.

Thanks so much man, really helped me !!!! im doing my DF70 and that top ring is really stuck haha

[boashna]

heat the bolts with torch if stuck and cool them . They will open easier while hot

[antoninadal]

you have the service manual? I can not find the anodes! thanks for your videos!

what if you ran this with no thermostat ?

[MikeLotito]

Mine doesn’t have a thermostat there just a spring almost like a pressure relief valve the filler neck looking piece on the top of the exhaust manifold above where the coolant temp sensor is where the thermostat is located

good evening. Where is the thermostat in DF40.. Is it in the same place as it is in the DF70 THANK YOU ..

Did you have to bend the t stat up like that to be able to grab onto it to pry that plate out? Doesn’t seem possible to get that first plate out without causing damage to the thermostat

[bohwheeler]

put heat on it with propane torch, put water to it while hot, should shock the seize let cool all the way then try to removal heat stud red hot only

Did the new thermostat fix the overheating issue you had?
