Got the broken fan pulley bolt extracted this morning. It only took one trip to Home Depot for titanium 1/16" drill bits. (note: Harbor Freight bolt extraction kits are cheap... you get what you pay for)

Next up: remove harmonic balancer, check timing belts, replace broken timing belt cover, remove engine mount brackets, remove power steering hose connector and Montero power steering hose and take them to a fabricator to make a new hybrid hose.

That will complete the front of the engine. After that, I'll replace the rear main seal, finish replacing the oil pan, remove and plug the oil cooler lines and then on to the fly wheel and clutch.
