Had removed my suspension belly pan to check for fuel hose kinks and upon putting it
back in place, was tightening the 10mm bolts that hold the belly pan to the aux. support and heard a sickening crack of the bolt shearing off. So, passenger side bolt is installed fine but the driver's side is broken off in the hole! I'm guessing that I shouldn't do any driving until I get the piece of bolt removed? Is that line of thinking correct? I think this repair is going to be a pain in the ass.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) Bolts look pretty corroded but it was totally my fault.....maybe I'll get lucky with a left hand drill bit! Not the way I wanted to start the weekend off. |
