BFannon Posted August 31, 2009 Author Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites
Starlet__SR Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Loctite? Spring washers? Are the mating surfaces reasonably flush??Damien Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BFannon Posted September 1, 2009 Author Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites
jezza Posted September 1, 2009 Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites

jezza Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Result, it's always worthwhile keeping old parts. Never know when you'll need to reuse them Quote Link to post Share on other sites
