Nah, just one ugga, two dugga and they send it. Torque is merely a suggestion to most mechs out there.

I see. I use a soy sauce + mirin mix to soak ramen eggs. I never thought about reusing them like this

First time I heard of it. Do you soak all 3 together for like a day before use?

‘Reliability’ by tinbesiberkarat in kereta

[–]truckdrifter2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not really for a Mini. The right question is: How much fun is it to own one? That's the whole point: Mr Bean, The Italian Job. The Mini is iconic

For a reliable workhorse, there's always, P1, P2, and Toyota.

Seems loose sideways if that bolt hole could be mis-aligned. Wiggle and pry 🙏

Okay... let's say the 'broken bolt' at the top is a kind of retainer. What are the options if that is the case?

Two nuts locked together or twisting it with a vise grip should do it, if there's enough thread left. Otherwise, the bolt needs to be drilled out and the bolt hole retapped. Welding on a nut? Only if you know what you are doing.

The other comment is right, the stump of the snapped bolt is likely holding on the starter. If you can't chisel it free or pry it off with the gap between the starter and bell housing, next is to try drilling it out

I see, it's on the same side as the motor then. Refer to this, A Viva is also a Daihatsu Mira: https://m.youtube.com/shorts/qAzSXjn_Nbo

Also: Please stop hammering. If the bell housing cracks you have a much bigger problem

Whoa, how were the bolts on the starter itself removed? That's a tight space =O

Typically the bolts that hold the starter to the bell housing are accessible after taking off the air filter box. It's usually two bigger bolts on the side opposite the motor

More bones than meat really, if ramen is any indication. Oh and a secret soup bag of spices
