i am going to change all the tappets and the cam belt next week wen im home for christmas with my dad... today i thought i would have a good look at it all to see if it was too harder of a job! so i take the cam belt cover off all good. take the camshaft cover off.... all good. But then...

Go to put the cam cover back on and start doing up the bolts. as i tighten the right most bolt it only sears off and the upper part of the bolt flicks off!!!!

WTF can i do to get the threaded end out of the bracket which holds down the camshaft? theres not enough stickin out to grip onto. could have kicked myself continuously in the nuts wen it happened!!! :doh: :doh: :doh: :doh: :doh: :doh: :doh: :doh: :doh: :doh:
