    Side Cover Bolt sheared off

    cool. that helps a lot. not losing a ton of oil, just a bit more than it was before i got the bright idea to tighten the bolts. it is seeping but only in the one spot. i will test drive it this week and see how much i am losing before hitting the trail on monday. that particular bolt has so...

    Side Cover Bolt sheared off

    i don't think so but that is a good rec. it is pretty far in. i guess i will drive it this week and see how bad the leak is.

    Side Cover Bolt sheared off

    that makes it sting a little less. i was surprised how loose the bolts were so i thought i was doing something constructive rather tha destructive. I was planning on hitting some pretty rough road next week and now have to decide what the risk is. what is the torque on those btw? i dont even...

    Side Cover Bolt sheared off

    cool. duly noted. this is going to be a difficult fix and nixes a few camping trips as i doubt driving it is a good idea.

    Side Cover Bolt sheared off

    I like the sound of that however it is leaking a bit when i start it-i am hesitant even try tightening the others at this point. i barely turned it and it came off but it was very loose. i am kicking myself for even messing with them at all.

    Side Cover Bolt sheared off

    i figured as much. i hastily typed my first post and misidentifed-my mistake. this is a bummer for sure. the bolt was very loose so i gave it a gentle turn but i got the short end. right before camping season too. it leaks when i start it now.

    Side Cover Bolt sheared off

    well to start with I have never removed a sheared bolt and I wanted to make sure I had the correct replacement. if my asking for help is an issue for you i don't know what to tell you. i have never had this issue before so I am trying to learn. i will most likely do that. I mistakenly referred...

    Side Cover Bolt sheared off

    the one i ordered is also too big. i can't tell what size i need based on the 4. now I have 9 oil pan bolts but my problem is not fixed.

    Side Cover Bolt sheared off

    just got my bolts and it looks like i incorrectly desrcibed the bolt. it is one of the bolts that is on the passenger side of the engine. it has a 4 on it. i see now that i have got oil pan bolts which should still be useful but i need to find the size of the one i sheared off. it is the very...

    also, where do i score one of these #4 bolts? they seem hard to track down.

    Side Cover Bolt sheared off

    that seems a bit advanced for me. never tried that. do I need to remove the pan?

    Side Cover Bolt sheared off

    I noticed the bolt at the front of my side cover was loose so i turned it gently only to have it shear off in the housing. must have been ready to go already. what next? how to you extract the bolt without stripping the housing? as a bonus it is leaking now. the reason i tightened it is because...
