It was going far too easy for me today... Replaced my original coolant sensor. Started on the t-stat. Came out fine! Going back on, the lower bolt was giving me a lot of resistance, so I kept backing up, checking the threads and going forward. I was on the final stages of snugging it with the rachet when POP
and out comes rolling the bolt head by my feet ![Eeeek! :eek: :eek:](/forums/smilies/eek.gif)
I guess the good news is the bolt it sticking out of the block about 1/3"....if that is good news![Crazy :crazy: :crazy:](/forums/smilies/crazy.gif)
Bad news is dealership doesnt have any bolts and it would be a special order $4/ea for a bolt and I have to order a bag of 10!! I really hope our local fastener shop carries them.
Any suggestions on getting the broke bolt (stud now) out of the block?
