Some ******* cross threaded the the tranny crossmember bolts at some point in time on the RS. Needless to say I broke both of them on the passenger side. I may have to drill them and re-tap. Where can I get this stuff? anyone have a set? I dont think the parts stores rent them.

 

if you mean ez out as in removing the bolts I'm surprised the parts store doesn't have them. if you mean a tap and die set try a hardware store. if they don't have it a good (as in a full size tool dept) sears would have it. they aren't cheap though (of course I want the 117pc one). or if you see them around snap-on, mac, or matco. I should say that just where to buy them, I have no idea about renting them.

 

Any parts store should have them.


I remember breaking 3 off into my intake manifold after a bolt broke changing the thermostat.

That's when I a thermostat job turned into this after I had to take the manifold off to have the bolt drilled out, tapped, etc.

 

I bought my set from Sears...

 

Bring it to the shop, I'll get it taken care of for ya. DO you have Steve's number? (Sonar) It'll have to be this weekend though, lifts will be full next weeek (money money money!). It's not too far from Sonic meet.

 

kinda hard to get it there with no tranny in it.

 

Ok, then bring me a bolt for the Kmember and I'll loan you a tap and bit. Just call Steve when you are ready.
