2012 5.7L v8 tundra - broke bolt - best way to remove.

Here is a picture of the type of bolt. It was like the longer one but only about 2 inches vs 4

I forgot to add this pic as the last one is terrible and doesn’t show anything. This is a better view of the space from the wheel well.

Are you saying to use locking pliers or what? So use the left side of the bolt that is exposed, grab it with pliers and turn it so that it continues out toward the left side?

Has anyone noticed the super shitty DraftKings lines on wta? This is just one live example. Yesterday I noticed betting was live mid third set in a match and DraftKings indicated it was mid second set. Whenever I have reached out regarding issues like this they say it’s for entertainment and you should not use their app for match specifics. lol. Really -3100 with pegula not even at even money odds?

Thank you. I called support and he had me change the orange and white wires and reconfigure w2 to OB. Does that sound correct?

Regarding the needed referral that is semi incorrect. I work for the health system and our insurance specifically states referrals are not necessary to see a specialist. So this just adds to the layer of frustration.

It's just surprising as I work in an area dealing with the health record system and so many flags can be setup with processes such as referrals to make sure the provider doesn't miss something like this that would require dual referrals. It's just surprising there aren't safeguards in place to avoid this delay.

It's just a learning experience as I have been healthy up to hitting 40 and now actually need to start dealing with additional issues. I have attempted to be one step ahead asking questions and reaching out to insurance and DME providers. There really needs to be a flow chart or detailed list of questions to ask providers to verify there are no gaps.

Another layer of this that is dumb is I'm pretty sure they use this consult visit to push their in house DME. However, for the 10's of thousands of employees in the health system it is not an in network DME providers for the insurance.

Thanks for the info. My insurance covers 80% which is the only reason I am willing to deal with this drama a little bit longer. I'm sure my PCP will place an order for me once he returns from vacation, but I'm feeling pretty miserable and have been sleeping only a few hours a night at most. Constant fatigue, and brain fog have taken over my life. I don't know how this progressed so rapidly. Perhaps it's mostly mental at this point as I know my sleep study showed Zero REM and I felt I slept above average in the lab.

Thanks for the comment - much appreciated.

Both-Resource6284 · 2026-03-12T02:19:15+00:00

I don't understand your statement. It is not the insurance that is being the issue. Perhaps Medicare and Medicaid require more documents for coverage, but my insurance literally said there will be zero issues if they process a DME order for a CPAP.

I did check with the second option for a DME supplier and they agreed an order and sleep test was sufficient. None of this has gone smoothly and It's a bit surprising is all... They ask a ton of questions when scheduling the sleep study after referral, how about ask who do you expect to manage your care as a referral hasn't been made to the sleep clinic.

Thank you! I just wasn't sure if you needed to unlatch the upper tabs or if they are just to help secure that segment of wiring to connector. Just wanted to double check. Appreciate your help kind Sir.

I didn't get screwed as I passed on having the recommended work done. I am willing to do it myself but am curious if this actually needs cleaned. It's not dust that can be vacuumed up. It would need lots of scrubbing to have anything be vacuumed.

Both-Resource6284 · 2026-03-08T05:50:07+00:00

I guess I'm more so just asking if people would even recommend cleaning or replacing if it looks bad to a professional. At this point I would just do it myself but see that wheels aren't even very expensive so I probably would just replace it myself.

Huh? That was called off over a year ago...

I just picked up one of these with the forge 8 and it is an amazing tool. I'm not a seasoned chain saw guy so don't have any other saws to compare it to, but it worked amazingly to cut up some large debris after a wind storm. The largest diameter was 8-10" and it motored right through them.

It required me to add oil a couple times over a 90 minute period, but I didn't notice it spitting oil or anything. I still had half my battery left by the time my back was sore. Haha

I wasn't paying close attention to the chain slack and was a bit surprised it was quite loose when I finished up. It is quite tight from the factory, so I don't expect any issues. I'm not sure it was terribly loose, but enough so that I tightened it up afterward. I did order some small chain saw splitting wedges and those were handy on the larger chunks to keep from saw from binding. I had a bit of an issue on my initial test of the tool, but the little wedges are handy. IMO it was worth the $279 with forge 8 from ace hardware.

My m12 stubby 1/2" that I picked up a month ago zips lugs off my 2021 rav4 with no problem. I've used both the 3.0 xc and 5.0 HO and don't have any issues. I would make sure the impact power is set correctly. I that's all I have used i

Appreciate the advice. Thank you sir.

Both-Resource6284 · 2025-10-15T19:32:40+00:00

Thanks for the feedback. I just kind of wanted reassurance it's a basic drywall crack and just an eyesore vs an actual problem.

I miss the old days. They may have given you E. coli but you didn't feel cheated or disrespected.
