BFannon Posted August 31, 2009 Author Posted August 31, 2009 lol yea sounds simple but they were tight! almost to sheering point when i tightened them lol as i guessed they would be subject to loads of vibration! Quote
Starlet__SR Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 Loctite? Spring washers? Are the mating surfaces reasonably flush??Damien Quote
Russleh Posted September 1, 2009 Posted September 1, 2009 had the same thing the other day. could tell i had a big leak from somewhere and as opened the bonnet one fell off ont the ground and there was onloy 1 still tight and mine 2 were mega tight at the start. i just keep checking them all the time now .

BFannon Posted September 1, 2009 Author Posted September 1, 2009 lol yea will just have to keep a eye on them! but i need to get the parts back first lol and buy replacement items as they have come off all together Quote
jezza Posted September 1, 2009 Posted September 1, 2009 I've bought those nuts from toyota before. I'm not sure if they will stock the studs though. Give them a ring and have your chassis number ready.If you can't get a stud I can send you one off an old manifold. Quote
BFannon Posted September 1, 2009 Author Posted September 1, 2009 thanks for offer mate that is great but i just got hold of me old man and he didnt throw my old mani anyway! so i have the studs and nuts from my old one! but many thanks anyway! and i have rung toyota and they said they will get back to me! 2 hours ago lol! but i got all day Quote
jezza Posted September 1, 2009 Posted September 1, 2009 Result, it's always worthwhile keeping old parts. Never know when you'll need to reuse them Quote
Steve GT Posted September 1, 2009 Posted September 1, 2009 thats one thing i never though about checking loloff out inamin to have a look now dont want to lose mine haha Quote
Russleh Posted September 1, 2009 Posted September 1, 2009 good to check it but something that was obvious that i never thought about at the time. it happened at my mates and when i got there i saw the bolt fall onto the ground and just picked it up not thinkin haha. it was ever so slightly hot .
