Uh Oh Snapped a Bolt

[Badger_01]

So I managed to snap the drivers side bolt that holds down the front fuel rail. Now will it be okay to drive while its like this? The bigger fuel rail loop pretty much holds it there anyway lol

just put a new bolt in.
be sketchy driving it, if its not held down right and fuel leaks out past the injector o-ring and squirts onto a hot motor = very bad time for you.

You have time to go down to Super Cheap/Ripco/Bunnings/Mitre 10 and get a drill bit that's smaller than the bolt and a bolt extractor... should take 10 minutes to remove.

once the bolts snapped they are generally easy as to just wind out by hand. unless its cross threadded..

Depends if it still has stud showing....if its snapped flush it'll be a bugger and will need drilling

Ended up drilling it out and luckily being at work I was able to find a bolt to go in. I did start if up without the bolt and the sound coming from the not properly sealed injector made me not to drive anywhere haha

[Badger_01]

That it does haha.

I freaked the f**k out thinking that petrol was going to start spraying everywhere, ignite and then go boom lol
