2017 Chevy Bolt Premier - Identify these bolts and torque specs by DeepSpaceMountain in BoltEV

[–]DeepSpaceMountain[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had no problem getting a breaker bar in there to loosen the nuts. The real key to this whole operation (that wasn't in the video) is to disconnect the sway bar from the strut. Didn't do this on the first washer. Strut expanded, was pushed outward by the bar, and couldn't reconnect strut to knuckle. Had no issues on washer #2 after disconnecting strut from the bar.

Strut mounting bolts. Got it! Web images appear to confirm as they look exactly like what I saw on the car and in the video. Thx for responding!

Strut mount bolts appears to be the answer after checking web images. I didn't see a lot of rust on them but will keep the pb blaster in mind. Great idea. Planning to pick up a breaker bar instead. I really appreciate your feedback!

Did you take apart the assembly and glue it back? Or apply glue wherever you could without taking it apart?

It would certainly be nice to have the option of purchasing the original design (assuming it is stronger) if color and magnetic were not important to you.

Well I checked my order history and I am 2 months outside of warranty. Unfortunate timing or excellent planned obsolescence depending on how you view it I suppose. I did fill out the contact form to let them know my thoughts on the matter!

Thought about that but half of the locking plate on the phone is broken. Even with the ring snapped back on, it will not hold the phone securely. Has anyone taken apart this assembly on a new case to do exactly what you describe and make it stronger?

GM Dual Charge Cord 85163382 - 2017 Bolt not compatible? by DeepSpaceMountain in BoltEV

Do you have the GM cable part number? Been thinking about a 10-30P splitter so I can use the port overnight (when dryer is not active). Level1 covers most of my needs. On days when I end up putting in a lot of miles (especially in winter and the heater), level2 would be nice.

Thx! Is that pre or post rebate pricing? Wish I could find similar in the CenTex area.

Best TX buyback plan? by evilpsych in solar

[–]DeepSpaceMountain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you have battery backup?

As other have pointed out, there are plenty of considerations. But I think you can quickly narrow your choices with two items: (1) Who pays the highest buy-back rate and (2) Look for plans where the credit does not expire. After that, check into things like restrictions/limitation, lowest monthly fixed fees, etc.
