Well done RW.  Word of caution, keep a close eye on it.  Wouldn't be the first time the WJ spits it out ...... just to bite you in the back side ..... for kicks.

Glad that method worked for you mate..I was beginning to doubt my own advice, even though I've done it a dozen times before.

 

As Dutch said..keep a close eye on it. Maybe a tension check after a couple of good runs would be in order.

Good news, well done with that drill bit.

I would leave the bolt alone and if needed, just check the injector with soapy water. Those high tensile bolts should come with thread lock on and are designed to be torqued down once, if you loosen it or interfere with it the strength is affected and it should be thrown away and a new one fitted.

Yes, without been negative just be warned. I have been there and after a few miles about 50 I seem to recall it spat it back out.

Fingers crossed yours stays in place though.

Yes I will keep an eye on it, going to check it at the weekend after the OH has used it for work.
I was surprised how far down in the hole the thread started, the hole was full of black crud so no wonder the bolt sheared off as the engine was cold when I tried to remove it (the leakoff was so bad it refused to start)

With the drilling it was SKILL  (no just a lot of luck) to be able to drill that length of bolt right down the middle, a decent bit helped big time, it is still as sharp as it was new as well.
