Tow Hook

[scofield.1]

As already sadly mentioned.... Engine died! so now I have to tow her to the garage!! All sounded easy until I took the plastic cover off and found that there is no kook as it has been sheared off!!!!

Has anyone else had this problem and have a solution, paying for a truck to recover is an expense I really want to avoid!

Christmas Greetings to all

Gary

You've no hole to screw the hook in to?

The tow hook is usually kept with the jack iirc and you have to screw it in, but I guess if you think its sheared off it most likely is. Maybe drilliing it and a reverse tap is the answer.

Happy Christmas to you to

Same thing has happened to mine, sheered flush in the hole. Gonna require drilling, tapping and ridiculous amounts of swearing to get out.

drill a pilot hole,get hold of an old torx bit,hit it into the pilot hole and then use it to remove the remains of the tow hook k:
