I had to take the throttle body off - the first time I've ever used a torque wrench was when I was putting it back on. Guess what happens when you're not sure if you're supposed to stop with a torque wrench? Bolts break 
The bolt on the left side top that holds the power cable to the TB snapped. Most of it is still holding the TB on - will it be okay to drive it like this? Have I caused more damage? How do I remove the "back half" of the bolt? Do I have to buy an OEM bolt to replace this one? Do I have to replace this one?
Thanks all!!! |
You'll have to remove the tb out, then figure out a way to get the broken bolt out. You can replace it with any bolt, as long as it's the correct thread/pitch. The bolt goes into soft aluminum, be careful tightening them down. As long as there's no vacuum leak, it "should" be ok.
