I was cleaning my CPAS due to some codes... plus I had some time. After I was all done I was bolting it back in there and I got it in, was torquing it down a tad and the bolt head broke off..... My question is: Is it ok to drive it with it back in its original position??
Where would I get a replacement bolt?
Thanks!! The joys of DIY

Not OK to drive. Dealers will have bolts. Sorry don't know the metric size to buy it anywhere else. Get a set of left-handed screw extractors and get it out the hard way. A tough break.

Took us about 10-20minutes.

In case anyone else does this. We drilled it out. We had to finagle the Window Shield Washer Fliud, and the Power stering pump. We had to move the Power Steering Pump towards the Radiator, past where it mounts. We stood the Winshield Washer Fluid Up on its end(Grabbing where you fill it and standing it up)

We used a 5/64" drill bit. That was the PERFECT size for the job!

Stupid me should have recorded it :duh:
