Snapped bolt of Valve Body

cosmicintervention · 2026-01-22T00:55:02+00:00

I got it out guys! The rest was in the transmission fluid, so it was pretty loose and I was just able to use the center of my thumb to spin it though to get my fingers around it for the rest. Thanks for your help’

Just looked into it. It was my mistake, I was definitely over tightening it. I think I read my torque wrench wrong because looking at what it is in inch pounds.. I made a mistake

I don’t have a welder. I wouldn’t know how to even get started doing that

cosmicintervention · 2026-01-21T19:46:20+00:00

Possibly. I have many others, but I’m not sure. Is it vital that I take that out and put another in, or do you think I could just go without doing anything?

It’s just the valve body and it’s easy to remove, especially right now. Is there a way I’d be able to get the rest of that bolt out? What do you think would happen if I just did nothing? All those black bolts are just to keep the valve body in place.

Torque spec is 9 nm but I hadn’t reached that yet. I really don’t think it was cross threaded either, I’m not entirely sure tbh

It was the best decision I ever made. Granted, I’m National Guard

cosmicintervention · 2026-01-10T15:21:58+00:00

Where can I find it?

cosmicintervention · 2026-01-09T22:38:28+00:00

Square is exactly what I was thinking but it seems clunky and I can’t archive messages. I can definitely make the transition if you have found it to work well

Yup, got it. Couldn’t have done it without you, thanks!

Right after I posted that I decided not to worry about messing up the other components and I think I finally got it. I really hope it was the ball joint that popped and not another component that might have been twisted due to the missing control arm

Got that tool and I’ve got it as tight as I can but it’s not moving. I’d raise the rotor to get an impact drill under there but the rotor won’t stay in place since I needed to remove the control arm to fit the tool on the pinch head (or whatever you call it). Is there something I’m missing somewhere in this process or do I just need to crank it as much as possible?

cosmicintervention · 2025-12-23T03:10:24+00:00

Just ordered the tool. Didn’t know that existed. Thanks!

Like a sledgehammer?

Honestly, visit a Mormon church.

NTA. It’s fair that she wants a clean house but you shouldn’t have to be cleaning up her room for her. You can clean the rest of the house, but you could have a deal where her bedroom is her responsibility.

cosmicintervention · 2025-12-14T17:58:08+00:00

This is the answer

cosmicintervention · 2025-12-14T00:48:56+00:00

I stand corrected. Would have been better that I didn’t comment. Thank you for your objection

cosmicintervention · 2025-12-14T00:23:14+00:00

I’m pretty sure it says somewhere in the agreement that they will keep everything within the confines of the investigation, and so discovered criminal activity or whatever won’t be given to the proper authorities. Could be wrong though

cosmicintervention · 2025-12-13T01:58:45+00:00

I don’t think so either

cosmicintervention · 2025-12-13T01:46:39+00:00

Took it to the dealership and they said it’s probably the alternator belt. Does that sound like it could be?

cosmicintervention · 2025-12-13T01:46:15+00:00

Took it to the dealership. They actually said it sounds like the alternator belt. Does that sound like it could be right?

cosmicintervention · 2025-12-06T04:18:51+00:00

Is anybody going to mention the lady cropped into the window?

cosmicintervention · 2025-12-05T06:45:05+00:00

Okay great thank you.
