ok i was installing my black betty grounding kit and everything was going fine until i got to driver side screw and i starting unscrewing and it came out then i screw back in it was still lose and i was screwing and it finally got screw on then it just snap. Now the screw is in the inside but the HEx part fell off so i cant even stick another screw in there or anything how do i get it out!? I only have half the screw now the other half is screw in the block




can i just forget that screw and just screw the grounding kit to the screw above it like the passenger side?

 

Get an easy out at SEARS or parts store. No biggie

 

what is a easy out?

 

Just Google it. It is a tool to back out your head-stripped bolt. Happens all the time.

 

oh alright ill look it up, thanks

 

Spiral screw extractor. You'll need to drill a small hole in the broken bolt and use the EZ out to back it out. Be more careful.

 

haha yeah well i was it kind just broke but anyway great grounding kit grade a quality man

 

Thank you. Take your time and drill it straight so you don't F up the threads of the hole.

 

ouch! you must have applied way too much torque when re-tightening that bolt.

the recommended torque values are all in the service manual. 20 ft-lb may not seem like alot, but it's enough. (i don't know the actual value for this specific bolt, but it's probably not far off.)
